The owners of Cadbury have revealed plans to create 100 new jobs at Bournville in Birmingham.

Organic chocolate bar maker Green & Black’s is looking to buy itself out of US food giant Kraft in the wake of last year’s Cadbury takeover, according to reports.

Kraft’s chief executive was visiting Cadbury’s factory in Bournville, Birmingham today for the first time since the controversial takeover of the chocolate firm this year.

The chief executive of food giant Kraft is to make her first visit to Cadbury’s main UK factory at Bournville since the controversial £11.5 billion takeover of the historic Dairy Milk  business.

Cadbury has ditched its famous “glass and a half” slogan from the labels of Dairy Milk bars, made at its Bournville factory in Birmingham.

Cadbury, the West Midlands-based chocolate maker, has played a key role in boosting profits for its new owner, Kraft.

Kraft has been censured by the City’s takeover watchdog for breaking a pledge to keep open a Cadbury factory when it won control of the Birmingham-based chocolate firm.

Cadbury is set to launch a chain of high street cafes serving afternoon tea and chocolates after new owner Kraft gave the plans the green light, it was revealed today.

The boss of Cadbury owner, US food giant Kraft, picked up a 41 per cent hike in pay and bonuses last year, it was revealed today.

US food giant Kraft today issued a public apology for raising hopes that a doomed Cadbury factory could be saved and issued a two-year guarantee on jobs after facing a furious attack over its controversial takeover of the chocolate-maker.
