STAFF at Federal Mogul are celebrating after winning two massive contracts which have created 40 new jobs.

After a troubled few years, the Lydney plant is recruiting again.

This spring the company will increase the workforce from around 110 to 150.

Federal Mogul is one of the largest suppliers of engine components to the car and truck industries.

Bosses at the engineering plant say the contracts are due to public demand for greener, more efficient engines.
