Bentley is recruiting 300 professional and technical positions in 2015 as part of a £40m investment into the company’s Crewe headquarters.
As part of the process a recruitment day for prospective applicants will be held on Saturday February 21 at CW1 House at Bentley’s headquarters.
Are you passionate about skills? Then join us at the Waldorf Astoria in London on February 24 for The Manufacturer Talent Challenge to meet like-minded manufacturers and share best practices.
Discover what other manufactures are doing to ensure the skills gap and learn to develop and create successful apprenticeships, under graduate and graduate schemes. Explore how to create relationships with local schools and the local community and gain an understanding of what other sectors in the industry are doing to fill their own skills gap.
The investment also included the creation of a new research and development centre, measuring over 45,000m², comprising a dedicated styling studio, research and development offices, and a technical workshop.
The facilities will house 1,300 Bentley engineers and represents the latest step in preparing Bentley’s infrastructure to bring the world’s first ultra-luxury SUV, the Bentayga, to roads in 2016.
