It always pleasant to report about
the creation of new jobs, but much more so in the midst of an economic
crisis that has engulfed the whole of Europe.
The
news comes from the Jaguar Land Rover group (JLR), which announced
today that it will expand its workforce at its manufacturing facility in
Castle Bromwich, UK, to support the launch of new Jaguar models
including the XF Sportbrake that goes on sale at the end of 2012.
The Tata Motors-controlled automaker
said that more than 1,100 new jobs are being created, adding that a
recruitment campaign for production operators was launched on Wednesday.
"We have embarked on the most
ambitious recruitment campaign in the company’s history, hiring 8,000
people in the last two years," commented Des Thurlby, HR Director at
JLR.
"We provide high
quality training and development for all of our employees so this latest
announcement for 1,100 jobs is great news for the West Midlands and the
UK supply chain."
During
the first six months of the year, Jaguar has sold more than 29,000
vehicles globally representing a 19 per cent increase over the same
period last year. According to Jaguar, all key markets, including China,
UK, USA and Europe, have delivered year on year sales improvements.
