JD Wetherspoon, the chain of pubs in the UK, has said it will create 10,000 new full and part time jobs over the next five years. During that time, the company expects to open a further 250 new pubs all around the UK to expand the Wetherspoon family of pubs to around a thousand in total. The new pubs will cost an average investment of a million pounds each.

Even now JD Wetherspoon is a big employer in the UK. They currently employ over 20,000 people in both full and part time jobs and hope that the expansion drive will see their workforce increase by a further 50 per cent. The free house chain has a large variety of full and part time jobs on offer, ranging from bar and kitchen staff, hotel and airport jobs, shift and kitchen manager positions to careers at their head office in Watford.

Wetherspoon are proud that they are often voted as one of the UK’s Top 100 Employers in an industry notorious for high staff turnover.

Tim Martin, the chairman of Wetherspoon who opened his first pub in 1979 when he was just 24, said: "Our pubs are extremely popular and we wish to build on their success by opening more. I am confident that the new pubs will be an asset to their respective towns and cities."

So, there you go…10,000 full and part time positions in the pub industry being created in these shores in the next five years. We’ll drink to that!
