A Tomlinson's Dairies plan in Wrexham, Wales is to create 70 new jobs following a £22m investment drive.

The dairy plant said they were expanding their cold storage facilities after receiving numerous investments.

The Welsh government gave £5m toward the project, Finance Wales gave £2m and HSBC announced an investment of £14.5m.

Managing director Philip Tomlinson said they are proud to expand and create 70 new jobs in the local area.

Tomlinson's, based on the Five Crosses Industrial Park in Coedpoeth, was created when Philip and John Tomlinson expanded their doorstep milk round from the family dairy farm in nearby Minera.

Established in 1983, the company turns over about £45m a year and is now the largest milk processing business in Wales.
