Four jobs from new shift
Four new jobs have been created by Canterbury Dairy Farmers’ Russley Road plant putting on an extra shift three days a week. The company’s plant manager, Mr David Price, said the shift would produce yoghurt. The company is the only producer of yoghurt in the South Island. The yoghurt will be produced under the Meadow Fresh brand — the same label that Christchurch’s cartoned milk is marketed under. Yoghurt production this
week has been “flat out” to meet initial demand and “as long as the market stays strong” a double shift should work three times a week, Mr Price said. The company has won also the contract to provide Air New Zealand with all its fruit juice for international and domestic flights. That totals about 400,000 litres a year — or three million glasses. The company previously supplied the airline with its juice needs for all Christchurch departures.
