There are set to be 60 new hospitality jobs created as a result of a new deal reached between developers in Oswestry and restaurant chain Whitbread.

Plans for the new Oswestry Gateway development include a 59-bedroom Premier Inn which will provide 60 hospitality jobs to people living in the area, the Border Counties Advertiser has reported.

As well as standard hotel jobs, restaurant work opportunities will be made available as the site will include a Brewers' Fayre family pub.

Nick Scott, head of development at the group behind the project J-Ross, said the hotel would be a major addition to the site and will be open to the custom of the ten million cars which pass along the road each year.

"The fact they are opening both a hotel and family restaurant underlines their commitment to this prestigious location, and establishes a high quality tone for future occupiers," he added to the news provider.

Other retailers are being invited to open up on the site, creating the possibility of more local jobs.

According to Whitbread, those employed by the company can expect it to be concerned with people and teamwork.
