Pret a Manger to create 500 new jobs
High street sandwich chain Pret a Manger is to create at least 500 new jobs in the UK.
The jobs will be based in new stores opening across the country.
The company has responded to the accusation that it hires too many foreign workers, saying that it now has 15% more UK nationals working for it than last year.
Chief Executive Clive Schlee told the BBC:
"We've responded to a lot of criticism like that.
"It depends on what market you're talking about. Outside London Pret is predominantly British," he said.
