Michelin Development Fund helps create 500 jobs

THE Michelin Development Fund has helped create 500 jobs in the east of Scotland since being set up in 2002 by the French tyremaker, which employs 900 in Dundee.

Michelin, the biggest supplier of car, truck and bus tyres to road users in the UK, is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the initiative which embraces businesses in the factory's catchment area stretching from Cupar to Arbroath. It provides funding and expertise to SMEs looking to expand into Europe and the US, and has helped more than 30 firms develop their operations, with loans totalling over £1 million.
