More than 200 jobs have been saved and a further 150 posts are being created at a Corby crisp factory which had been threatened with closure.
Staff at the Golden Wonder factory in Princewood Road, were told the plant is staying open after bosses hammered out a deal to save the jobs of 228 workers and to create another 150 jobs in the next year-and-a-half.
Workers on the production line said the good news was tinged with sadness after it was announced that 300 jobs will go in the next few months at a sister site in Wednesbury in the West Midlands which is closing.
