The money will be released over three years and will mean new production lines, new equipment and greater job security. The Bournville factory currently produces some of the firm’s most popular chocolate, including Dairy Milk, Creme Eggs and Wispa.
Unite national officer Rhys McCarthy said: “This investment is good news and the union has been working with Cadbury to get the best deal possible for workers during this restructuring. It is yet another example of success when unions and employers work together in the manufacturing industry.
“The company has poured in £33m of investment over the last two years and now it is pouring a further £75m into Cadbury. Cadbury is creating four brand new assembly lines with brand new equipment. This investment should help the company compete more effectively, which in turn will boost job security for over 3,000 workers across the UK.”
