C&D Customer McAuliffe adds four lorries and four new jobs

Wolverhampton-based and C&D customer McAuliffe is thanking a thriving property market this month for its expansion. The company offers a range of services to house builders, and with increasing demand from that sector, four new lorries and four new jobs have been created at the company.

To achieve the expansion, McAuliffe went to its banking partner for the required £346,000 hire purchase facility with which to acquire the new lorries. A knock on effect of that being four new job being created, taking McAuliffe's staff total to 50. A further eight lorries are expected to be ordered within the next six months.

JCB invest £3.5 million in jobs for young people

In these harsh economic times anything that UK companies can do to help out the jobs market will go a long way towards getting the country and its finances back on track. JCB is one of those companies.

The Rocester company has pledged £3.5 million and a recruitment drive that will see over 100 new employees join its ranks. These new starters will be young talent beginning in September and taking on roles including in a new Higher Apprentice Scheme.

The other good news is JCB has retained 100% of its graduates over the past 5 years. Now they are taking on double the number of young talent hopefuls in 2012, we hope that success rate continues, and the jobs turn into careers working for a British company.

To kickstart the larger apprenticeship scheme in style, JCB took on 16-year-old triplets yesterday. All will be working at JCB Heavy Products in Uttoxeter.
