Firm gets £7m to create 700 jobs

Politicians and unions have criticised the Scottish Government for giving a technology firm £7 million to create 700 jobs, just over a year after it announced it was cutting the same number of posts through the closure of its manufacturing operation.

 

Hewlett-Packard (HP) is setting up an IT service hub for UK clients at its headquarters in Erskine, Renfrewshire, and recruitment for 700 “high value” jobs will begin in November.
