Description
UK-based luxury car manufacturer Bentley Motors will create 500 new jobs and secure 200 jobs at the firm's headquarters in Crewe. The business expansion plans follow the increase in global demand for luxury cars.
The company received government funding, which will be used for an engine research and development project. The money came through the second round of the Regional Growth Fund and the company hopes it will facilitate its expansion in new overseas markets, such as China.
