Plans to create 200 new jobs have been announced by a bakery firm.
Greggs bakery has said about 70% of the new posts will be at the company's firm in Treforest, near Pontypridd, with the remaining vacancies in the South West of England.
The 140 jobs in Treforest will be introduced over the year boosting the company's current workforce at the site to more than 500.
About eight new shops are also expected to be opened in the region over the year.
Steve Smith, the managing director of Greggs in Treforest said the new jobs reflected how well the company was performing.
"Following a very successful 2002, we are firmly on track to continue our sustained growth and look forward to continuing to meet and exceed the needs of our loyal customers," he said.
The Treforest site was opened in 1986 and the firm currently has 92 shops in Wales.
Greggs also took on about 200 new staff across the region during 2002.
