Primark To Create Over 160 Retail Jobs In Colchester

Primark has confirmed that it will create over 160 new retail jobs in Colchester as the discount clothes store opens a new outlet in the Essex town.

Shabnam Bashir, a spokesman for Primark, said: “At this stage, we are not able to provide an estimated opening date, however Primark does expect to create 168 jobs at the new store.”

Secretary of the Colchester Business Retail Association, Ron Levy, welcomed the jobs but added a disclaimer that some of the positions could be part time vacancies.

“Any job is worth having, but what kind of jobs are they? All jobs are worth something but we must not get too excited. However, and everyone I have spoken to is looking forward to Primark moving in,” said Mr Levy.

Director of policy for Essex Chambers of Commerce, David Burch, was more upbeat:

“Colchester town centre is already doing better than some of its critics suggest and Colchester Council is doing a lot to keep the town centre alive. The arrival of Primark will add further to that. Having spoken to businesses, Primark was one of the main shops people wanted to see in the town. Anything that keeps people in the town centre is a positive thing. It should make it easier to suggest that area to other retailers to bring their businesses in.”

The new Primark in Colchester will be housed within a former BHS store which is set to close this coming weekend...
