Hewlett Packard (HP) will create 700 skilled technology jobs in Scotland between now and 2014.

The firm says it intends to make Erskine in Renfrewshire, current location of the firm’s sales and customer support operations, a hub for delivering IT services to UK clients.

An HP spokesperson told Recruiter that it would be hiring technology support people, but there will also be a varying degree of different roles as business expands, adding that the firm cannot go into specifics as of yet.
