Description

Car parts manufacturer TRW has announced plans to create 130 new jobs at its site on the Rainton Bridge Industrial Estate in Sunderland.

The extension is due to be complete later this year with recruitment scheduled for the second half of 2015. The news of the new jobs comes as Lear also announced job creation on the same industrial estate.
