SIX jobless people from Warrington have secured employment to help redevelop Wilderspool Stadium.

Buckingham Group Contracting Ltd, a contractor working at the site on Wilderspool Causeway, has been recruiting from the town's unemployed list.

Training has been provided with support from Warrington Collegiate and Warrington Borough Council.

Jack Rowley, regional director of the Buckingham Group, said: "Our new recruits have made an excellent start. I firmly believe they are well placed to develop successful careers in the construction industry and play an important part in projects that Buckingham Group is looking to deliver."

It has not yet been confirmed what the former home of Warrington Wolves will be turned into.
