Food group to create 150 jobs

MUSGRAVE will create 150 jobs at a new warehouse and distribution operation in Co Kildare.

The Cork-headquartered food and grocery distribution group will spend €35 million on the new facility in Kilcock, which will begin operations in January 2005.

The facility will serve as a distribution centre for over 500 independently-owned SuperValu and Centra shops around the country. Musgrave already has two such centres in Cork and Galway and chose Kilcock for its third site because it is has easy access to the main roads leading from Dublin.
