Whitbread to create 12,000 jobs

Whitbread has vowed to step up expansion of its Premier Inn and Costa chains in a move set to create 12,000 jobs over the next five years.

The latest pledge by the leisure group, which also owns Beefeater and Brewers Fayre restaurants, came as it reported an 11% rise in underlying profits to £356.5 million for the year to February 28.
