British luxury car manufacturer Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, subsidiary of the BMW group, is to create about 100 jobs at its headquarters in Goodwood, by the end of 2013.
As announced almost half of the new jobs are in the areas of marketing, sales, after sales, public relations and bespoke services whereas the other half refers to its engineering and manufacturing activities linked with the production of a new model (Wraith).
The job creation is due to the incresing sales during the last 3 years, the expansion of its manufacturing plant and the launch of a new model.
The British government has welcomed the announcement. In addition the company has announced job creation in other regional sites all over the world.
