Description

Tiger Trailers has announced plans to create 120 new jobs in Winsford, Cheshire. The company is aiming to expand production to around 3,000 trailers and bodies annually, around double its current output. The move comes as the company embarks on the build of a GBP 22 million (€24.7 million) factory which the company expects to move into in December 2018 or January 2019. The firm is currently recruiting for 40 positions ahead of the move to the new site and the remaining jobs will be added over a three year period.
