WORK has begun on a food depot which when complete will bring up to 150 jobs to east Durham.
The £10m food storage depot is being built at the Foxcover Industrial Park, Seaham, by Yearsley Cold Storage and Distribution.
The company already has depots in the Midlands, North-West and the South-East, and considered several options in the North-East before settling on the Seaham site.
The company, which has an annual turnover of £45, is hoping to secure about £6m-worth of business a year from the region's food manufacturers.
