The boss of a company planning to create thousands of new jobs in Northumberland has been explaining how he hopes high-paying jobs at a new gigafactory will go to local residents.
Britishvolt's plan to create a 3,000 job factory producing electric vehicle batteries near Blyth took a huge step forward yesterday when it was revealed multi-million-pound Government funding had helped attract £1.7bn from private investors.
Work is set to start on the site of Blyth Power Station's former coal yards at Cambois within the next two months.
