Müller expansion in Market Drayton to bring new jobs and boost for local workforce

A major investment by Müller UK & Ireland in its Market Drayton facility is set to create new jobs and strengthen its ties to Shropshire.

The dairy giant has received planning approval from Shropshire Council to significantly expand its operations at the site, a move welcomed by both county planners and the local town council.

The development is expected to bring employment opportunities and economic growth to the area.

Matt Potts, Shropshire Council’s service manager for economy, funding and skills, said the investment is a clear vote of confidence in the county’s potential.

He said: “Müller is one of our most high-profile and long-established local employers.

“This considerable investment is a tremendous show of confidence in what Shropshire has to offer major companies that choose to base their operations here.

“This development also promises new jobs and opportunities in one of our key sectors.”

The expansion will allow Müller to boost its capacity for producing high-quality dairy products while continuing to support the local economy and community.
