A number of advanced engineering & manufacturing firms have announced significant investments and contract wins which in some cases will lead to significant hiring.
The announcements were made at one of a number of global business summits organised by UK Trade & Investment to coincide with London’s Olympic and Paralympic Games.The most significant hiring comes from US manufacturer The Get It Group, who working alongside Georgian firm Tbilisi Aircraft Manufacturing and Ukrainian MARKET-MATS will locate two advanced manufacturing campuses in the Hereford Enterprise Zone and Ross-on-Wye.
Each should create at least 500 high-tech manufacturing jobs, and at least 10% of these workers should eventually have been sourced by the dedicated on-site apprenticeship training schools.
Civil aircraft maker Airbus will be recruiting around 600 employees in the UK during 2012, it was announced, including 169 apprentices and graduates. Italian steel forger Bifrangi is creating 50 jobs in Lincoln as part of a €50m (£39m) investment.
Oxfordshrre advanced materials and technologies firm Cella Energy has signed a deal with NASA, through which around 25 UK jobs will be created, while other companies involved in the event include tyre maker Pirelli and engineering group GKN.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg says that “the skills and expertise of British businesses are gold medal standard and highly sought after across the world”. However, as Recruiter found in its July edition, the UK is currently losing jobs to overseas as a result of poor availability of skills in engineering and manufacturing.
