Trade Centre, a car retailer company, has started a recruitment process for 100 new vacancies in their new car supermarket in Rochdale. This will be the sixth car supermarket in UK and the first one in the North West. The majority of the new positions will be customer facing, but there are some positions for drivers, technicians and logistics operatives. It is being reported that the new site is going to open before the end of 2019. Trade Centre's management reports a stable growth of the company despite the current economic uncertainty.
