B&M has today (Friday, November 20) announced it's creating an additional 100 jobs at its Bedford depot - and will be giving priority to those candidates who have been affected by the pandemic.

The company says the new roles are perfect for those who have been furloughed by their current employer and are looking to take on a second job or, those who have lost their job due to the Covid.
