Car Manufacturer creates 200 jobs in Nottingham

One of China’s leading car manufacturers, Chongqing ChangAn Automobile Company, has announced that they will be creating over 200 jobs at their new site in Nottingham by 2015. ChangAn, who are China’s 3rd largest automaker, have selected local recruitment specialists Encore Personnel as their strategic recruitment partner.

ChangAn, who have a turnover in excess of £8billion, have set up their European Research and Development site at the Nottingham Science Park as they look to establish themselves as one of the world’s top ten car manufacturers over the next 5 years.

Ray Metcalfe, Operations Manager for Encore Personnel, commented “As a company we are excited to be partnering Changan, a company with ambitious expansions plans similar to ourselves. We are looking forward to establishing a partnership with ChangAn that will culminate in the creation of 200 jobs within the next 5 years.”

Greg Latham, Managing Director at Encore, believes the news is great for the region “With all the redundancies and site closures that have been associated with the car industry over the last few years, the fact that one of the industry’s leading companies has chosen the East Midlands for their base is a major positive not only to the region but the UK as a whole.” 

Encore Personnel specialise in the supply of blue collar personnel (logistics, manufacturing and engineering, temporary and permanent) to industry throughout the U.K, employing over 1,600 temporary staff each week through its existing six locations and 16 divisions, continuing to build their reputation as one of the country’s leading recruitment consultancies.
