JOBS CREATED AT MEDICAL GIANT
Coloplast named in top third of UK’s best 100 employers
Fast growing med-tech company Coloplast has announced the creation of new jobs in Peterborough as it is named the 33rd best employer in the UK.
The medical devices manufacturer has been praised by the Sunday Times which has ranked the company in 33rd position out of the top 100 best companies to work for across the country.
It is a jump of 35 places up the prestigious league table and the accolade comes as the employer embarks on a major expansion in Peterborough.
Coloplast has announced the recruitment of 55 extra members of staff to work at its newly expanded offices at Nene Hall, at Peterborough Business Park, in Lynch Wood.
The company is already building a 135,000sq ft warehouse at Peterborough Gateway Business Park, which is expected to completed by the end of the year.
Coloplast staff took part in a special celebration at Nene Hall as the Mayor of Peterborough Councillor Chris Ash and the Mayoress of Peterborough Doreen Roberts joined Coloplast country manager Annemarie van Neck to officially open the new offices.
The extension will include a dedicated training space to help develop staff skills across the company.
The official opening was followed by the presentation of £50,056 to Peterborough’s Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall, which has been raised over three years by Coloplast staff.
Cutting the ribbon to declare the offices open, Coun Ash told staff: “It is a real pleasure to be here with you today. “Coloplast is really putting Peterborough on the map.”
Ms van Neck said: “This is testament to the great work that we do here.”
