Müller, the German dairy giant, is looking to take on an additional 300 employees in the UK and Ireland to cope with extra demand during the Covid-19 outbreak.
    
The business said the move follows strong consumer demand for dairy products such as milk, yogurt and butter.

Müller said it has already raised its total output but with demand expected to remain high and some workers absent due to self-isolation, it is now looking for up to 300 additional employees..

The vacancies range from delivery drivers and dairy technicians to factory operators, packaging operatives and garage mechanics.

Bergen Merey, CEO of Müller’s yogurt and desserts business in the UK and Ireland, said: “Dairy is the cornerstone of Britain’s food industry, so our products and supply chain have a major role to play in helping to feed the nation. This is no longer simply a duty, this is now an obligation.

“We’re part of an entrepreneurial, progressive and vibrant family-run business, and people are crucial to our success. Our message is simple, if you’re available and have the necessary skills and qualifications, then we’d love to hear from you.”
