Description
SPB, a French group specialised in white-label insurance and assistance solutions, has announced that it is to create 160 jobs (130 in Le Havre, France) by the end of 2008. As of June 2008, there is no information on where exactly the new jobs will be created. This job creation is attributed to the decision of the company to double its international activity.
