ONE hundred new jobs have been brought to Horwich thanks to 24-hour shopping at the Asda store at Middlebrook.

The new round the clock opening has seen a huge recruitment campaign. Despite a large number of new employees, customers will see many familiar faces in the store in the early hours, as a number of workers have opted to change to night working leaving vacancies to be filled for day shifts.

The 24-hour opening follows the introduction of a number of new products on the home and leisure sections.
