Kingswinford and South Staffordshire MP Mike Wood has visited the area’s largest potato processing facility to meet with staff and hear about the results of £17m investment.

During the visit Mr Wood toured the facilities and heard how recent investment of £17m over the last four years has helped boost efficiency and secured the factory’s future. 

Mike said: “It was great to visit the McCain factory and see first-hand how significant investment in recent years have helped secure the future of this important employer here in South Staffordshire. 

“With 127 local people directly employed at the site, it’s a great example of business providing much needed jobs for our community.” 

Adam Moloney, Plant Manager at McCain Foods Wombourne, said: “We were pleased to welcome our local MP Mike Wood to our Wombourne site this morning. During a tour of the factory, we highlighted the results of the recent £17m investment we’ve made into the facility. 

“We’re really proud to have been in Wombourne for almost 30 years, and look forward to being here for years to come.”
