Motorola creates 400 mobile manufacturing jobs in Scotland Steve Bush
Motorola is to create 400 manufacturing jobs at its Easter Inch mobile phone plant in Silicon Glen, Scotland.
The jobs will be in assembly, inspection and testing of the handsets. Many of the positions will be filled from staff brought in for the pre-Christmas rush. "We will be recruiting over the next few months," said Motorola spokesman Derek Milne.
Motorola put its expansion down to the popularity of its existing handsets and its new product line-up. "This will be the only Motorola site worldwide that makes the GSM version of the new V-series," said Milne.
