Cadbury
Today’s announcement about the loss of around 80 positions at the Cadbury Factory in Claremont is extremely disappointing.
The Government is committed to working with those affected through this difficult time and the Department of State Growth’s Rapid Response Unit has been sent to Claremont today to assist those impacted by this decision.
Cadbury’s parent company Mondelez International has indicated it remains committed to the Claremont site but has made a shift change to better match production and demand.
On a regional basis, employment is up 3.7% over the past year in Hobart and the South East, however, we recognise there’s still more to do, which is why the upcoming budget will have job-creation front and centre.
Matthew Groom, Minister for State Growth
