1 min read
Bentley Motors is creating more than 140 new jobs at its headquarters in Crewe. Recruitment includes 90 skilled engineers and 51 new apprentices, the biggest single apprentice intake in 10 years.
The announcement follows Bentley's record year in 2013, delivering 10,120 cars, the highest in the company's 95-year history.
90 new engineers will work on an expanding model range, as part of a £800 million investment over three years on model and facility development. This will be in a number of engineering disciplines, including chassis, powertrain, electrical, body and trim and whole vehicle.
Forty of the 51 apprentices will be part of a new dedicated manufacturing scheme focused on strengthening core skills as Bentley builds up to the introduction of a Bentley SUV in 2016.
Bentley's manufacturing apprentice approach sees the introduction of dual education; a tailored method to vocational training based on competence profiles and dedicated placements within chosen professional areas in Manufacturing.
Bentley's engineers bring together anything from traditional skills associated with natural materials with the latest developments in powertrain technologies.
