A major recruitment campaign is underway for the new Isle of Man Food park.
The Department of Economic Development and DEFA have announced that the park will see the creation of 55 new full-time jobs.
The jobs, largely in scallop processing companies, are accessible to all and require no special training or qualifications, although training will be offered for all recruits.
The Island’s scallop industry currently supports around 150 jobs at sea, and 200 on land.
DEFA Minister, Phil Gawne, has said 'It is testament to the resilience of the Manx fish processing industry that it is winning new export markets even in these difficult times .These new jobs are very welcome and can make a real contribution to the Manx economy. DEFA’s creation of the Isle of Man Food Park as a centre of excellence for our food industry demonstrates the Government’s commitment to supporting this industry.’
