KFC set to create 1,600 new jobs

Fried-chicken restaurant chain KFC will create 1,600 jobs this year by opening more than 40 restaurants across the UK and Ireland.

The US-owned firm plans to spend £40 million on the expansion drive, while it will also spend another £40 million on a make-over of 160 existing eateries to "create a more modern, welcoming environment for customers".%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
