Description
Luxury car manufacturer Rolls-Royce has announced plans to create 200 new jobs at its head office in West Sussex. The move means that employment at the Goodwood site will rise above 2,000 for the first time and that the total employees will have increased six-fold since the business relocated in 2003. The jobs follow strong sales and high orders for 2019. Recruitment is open for the new positions which are across all areas of production, though there is no information on when the jobs are expected to be filled.
