Description
Midlands based payroll firm MHR has announced that it is to create 66 new jobs as it continues to expand. Currently 200 staff are based at the company's offices at Ruddington Hall, just south of Nottingham and 400 staff are based at Ruddington Fields Business Park, a little further out of the city. The company has increased its turnover over each of the past five years and currently has a turnover of around GBP 50 million (€59.6 million) and processes around GBP 6.5 billion (€7.8 billion) worth of staff bank transactions each year. The firm hopes to add around 400 jobs in total, including the 66 announced. The new staff will be split across the two sites and some will be field based. The roles available are within software development, and sales and support functions. There is no information about when the jobs will be filled, though recruitment for the positions is currently open.
