Audi's milestone could be good news for sales jobs

22 July 2010 15:59:00

One of Europe's most-respected car manufacturers has passed a major landmark after it recorded more than two million sales in a hard-to-crack marketplace.

The sale of an Audi A3 TDI to a customer in California saw the Germany car manufacturer pass the milestone and Audi America president Johan de Nysschen said the fact that the car was sold to a first-time buyer shows how far it has come.

"Audi started selling its very first cars, the Super 90 and 100, 40 years ago. With record sales this quarter, something tells us it will take far less than that amount of time to hit the next two million Audis," CarThrottle.com stated.

De Nysschen added that the company is planning to launch the redesigned A8 flagship in November, which could be good news for people in sales jobs trying to attract buyers.

Audi recently stated that its well-built, intelligent cars need to be driven intelligently in order for them to reach their optimum energy efficiency.

Toyota hybrid could bolster manufacturing sales jobs

30 June 2010 15:55:00

One of the world's largest car manufacturers has chosen the UK as a base for the production of its new hybrid vehicle and has given a lift to British manufacturing in the process, according to one senior cabinet member.

The business secretary MP Vince Cable, who spoke at the official launch at the Burnaston plant in Derbyshire, said that the decision from the Japanese manufacturing giant shows that the UK is attractive to companies using sales recruitment.

"Toyota's decision to make Burnaston the only plant in the world to build the hybrid Auris is a strong endorsement of the UK as a manufacturing base for the future," he said.

Katsunori Kojima, managing director of Toyota Manufacturing UK added that the official start of production of the Auris Hybrid Synergy Drive is a proud moment for the company and will give salesmen and women another quality product to sell.

Another car manufacturer which has been providing new products recently is Land Rover which managed to post profits of £32 million after an impressive start to the year.

Green industry 'still has huge potential'

29 June 2010 14:05:37

The green sector still offers real potential for expansion, growth and creation of roles, such as sales jobs, according to one expert.

Simon Bullock, economy campaigner at Friends of the Earth, said that the previous Labour government started the stimulation of the green economy and now the coalition administration needs to support that progression.

"It's a growing sector but it does need support, so it's really important that the government continues to support these industries, whether it's offshore renewables or energy efficiency or low carbon vehicles," he stated.

The expert added that although the sector continues to grow it needs support from the government in the form of things, like the green investment bank, if it is to achieve its potential and create sales jobs in the process.

Wind energy could also help to bolster the UK's manufacturing industry as well, according to The Renewable Energy Centre.co.uk, which said it is worth millions to the country's economy.

BCC commits to helping British manufacturers

21 June 2010 15:31:07

One of the UK's largest business organisations has pledged to support British exporters and manufacturers from all over the country at a national conference.

David Frost, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said that the organisation is searching for ways its members can provide support to UK exporters, and the measures could help to bolster manufacturing sales jobs in the future.

"This country has some hugely successful exporters, large and small, but we don’t have enough of them. A major role for Chambers of Commerce is to get more businesses first of all thinking about trading overseas, and then more importantly, being successful at it," he said.

The expert added that export potential in goods and services will form a key part of a rebalanced UK economy.

Neville Hill, an economist at Credit Suisse, recently told the Financial Times that the positive purchasing managers' index has shown the growth that the UK manufacturing and export sector has seen.

Manufacturing sector keeps growing

02 June 2010 15:37:37

The UK's manufacturing sector continues to grow with the latest figures showing that it has expanded again after months of success, which has surprised some in the industry, according to an expert.

Neville Hill, an economist at Credit Suisse, told the Financial Times that the positive purchasing managers' index has caught some companies unaware as they attempt to deal with demand.

The positive figures could be great news for people searching for manufacturing sales jobs, as the number of appointments also grew for the second consecutive month, according to the publication.

Rob Dobson, economist at Markit, who produce the purchasing managers' index, added: "UK manufacturing maintained its blistering start to the second quarter. Although production remains well below pre-recession levels, the sector is now recovering its losses at a surprisingly rapid pace."

Wind energy could also help to bolster the UK's manufacturing industry as well, according to The Renewable Energy Centre.co.uk, which said it is worth millions to the country's economy.

Wind energy could help boost British manufacturing

21 May 2010 15:50:48

If Britain realises its potential as a world leader in wind energy then more jobs will be created and the economy will be stimulated, according to an expert.

A spokeswoman from The Renewable Energy Centre.co.uk said that, at the moment, there is too much red tape in the way of the steps which are needed to make Britain the centre of European wind energy.

Manufacturing is one area where sales jobs could be affected if the UK realises its potential, but the spokesperson believes around £11 billion is needed per year to create the ideal energy environment.

"Undoubtedly, with more renewables being planned and implemented, a new set of skills and manufacturing opportunities come with it which, in turn, can only have a positive effect on the British economy," she said.

In March, the Index of Production report showed that manufacturing productivity increased and Ian McCafferty, chief economic advisor for the Confederation of British Industry, predicted this would continue for the coming months.

Next 15 years 'will see boom in engineering industry'

12 May 2010 16:46:44

The next decade could hold many opportunities for those looking for sales jobs at specialist engineering firms, an expert has asserted.

Rob Scott, managing director of Aaron Wallis Sales Recruitment, said that the government is intending to make the UK a world leader in a range of precision engineering and precision electronics areas over the next ten to 15 years.

"Engineering is an ageing industry and not enough young people are graduating in these areas to ensure that we have a platform of engineering talent for the future," he said.

"When we talk to engineering companies and they see this as a real threat for the future," he explained.

"Perhaps engineering and scientific disciplines are not as 'sexy' as IT and media, for instance, but there is a real dearth of engineering graduates coming through. Many companies are saying that they'll have to look to source talent outside of Britain and the EU to fill their specialist roles."

However, when people and government respond to these trends engineering will be a boom industry, with Mr Scott predicting there would be "a lot of opportunities for the next generation and I for one am encouraging my own children down a scientific and engineering path".

Innovative manufacturing 'key area for Brits'

11 May 2010 17:21:02

The UK has a strong future in the field of innovative manufacturing, an expert has claimed.

Sahar Hashemi, business author, says that it is when crafting products which are unique that Britain really excels and urged the manufacturing industry to play to its undoubted strengths.

With a growth in manufacturing likely to lead to a rise in technical sales jobs, Ms Hashemi's confidence will be welcome news for jobseekers who have well-developed specialist skills.

Ms Hashemi added that innovation is one way in which the UK can differentiate itself from cheaper countries, emphasising quality and cutting-edge technology.

She said: "Where we can innovate is thinking of things that no one else does and building those. It will have to be manufacturing with an edge. We do things that people don't. That's where the opportunity is for us."

Her comments follow figures published by the Confederation of British Industry, which found that demand for goods produced by the country's small and medium-sized manufacturers is increasing both domestically and overseas.

Environmentally-friendly packaging 'growing in importance'

07 May 2010 17:04:56

The trend towards companies deploying environmentally-friendly packaging is likely to continue, an expert has asserted.

Sam Jarvis, spokesperson for Waste Watch, highlighted the fact that packaging changes are being made to a growing range of fast moving consumer goods.

People applying for packaging sales jobs should be aware of this trend, as the representative predicted that the cost savings it confers on companies are likely to remain important in the foreseeable future.

He said: "I think that it is a trend that probably will continue because it's a much lighter weight to transport and that means that there are fewer carbon emissions as a result."

Mr Jarvis listed some of the advantages of the packaging, including its lower carbon footprint and the cost savings on raw materials and transport.

His comments followed the news that supermarket chain Waitrose has announced that it will be launching wine in plastic bottles as a ploy to make the most of the festival-goer market this summer.

Caterpillar keeps climbing

06 May 2010 15:26:18

One of the UK's largest and well-known manufacturing firms is looking for more staff after a surge in sales and the relocation of some of its production.

Caterpillar, which is known for its plant vehicles, plans to recruit a further 300 workers to its Leicestershire base after production of one of its popular diggers was transferred to Britain from the US.

General manager Robert Droogleever revealed that around 80 per cent of the roles will be on the shop floor, while the remaining 20 per cent will be a mix of administerial and sales jobs.

David Sprason, a Conservative councillor in Desford, said: "It's great to see Caterpillar coming back after a deep recession."

Martin Traynor, managing director of Leicestershire Chamber of Commerce, told the Leicester Mercury that the new jobs are excellent news.

More manufacturers could be looking to fill sales jobs after the Chartered Institute for Purchasing and Supply revealed exporter confidence had reached its highest point since 1996 in April.

Exporter confidence hits 15-year high

05 May 2010 15:57:04

The confidence of exporters in the UK has hit its highest point since 1996, according to figures from the Chartered Institute for Purchasing and Supply (Cips).

People searching for manufacturing and industrial sales jobs could be buoyed by the Cips report, which showed that its managers' index of sentiment on export orders in April had risen to 60.71 from a low of 38.12 in November 2008.

"The good news is there are already signs this is starting to happen as employment levels are slowly rising on the back of strained capacity and backlogs of work reported for the first time in over a decade," said David Noble, the chief executive at Cips.

He added that there could be more good news for the manufacturing industry, as companies begin to increase their investment and start to build capacity again.

One British manufacturing firm which could soon be looking for more sales staff is Dyson, which recently announced it was recruiting after the success of its bladeless fans.

Banks must 'improve communication' with businesses

02 December 2009 10:11:57

Britain's banks need to improve their communication with managers of sales jobs if a return to normal lending conditions is to happen, according to the Institute of Directors (IoD).

Alexander Ehmann, head of parliamentary and regulatory affairs at the IoD, said that some of its members were still having problems accessing finance during the recession, but it is not as "widespread as some media commentary has made out".

"Banks are a little bit disengaged and a little bit distant. I think their communication will have to improve in order to see a return to absolute normality in terms of lending conditions," he added.

Mr Ehmann was commenting on new figures released by EEF, the manufacturer's organisation, which found increased positivity among its members towards credit conditions.

It showed that 32 per cent of firms reported an increase in the overall cost of finance, the lowest figure since the survey was first conducted at the end of 2007.

Sales jobs: UK needs to follow Europe's lead on green energy

17 September 2009 16:00:21

John Barwise, chairman of the Cumbria Green Business Forum, said that investing in sustainable energy now will provide the UK with workers who can bring green fuel to future generations.

He said: "The UK now has to play catch-up... We desperately need to rebuild the UK's power industry and to invest now in training and skills, especially in new technologies."

The chairman added that at the moment a lot of renewable technology and skilled engineers come from overseas rather than being home grown.

Consumers want people in sales jobs to be knowledgeable

27 August 2009 17:40:28

People looking for sales jobs should be knowledgeable and ready to help when things go wrong, according to a consumer watchdog.

A report from Which? said that some retail sales companies are trying to impress customers even more in the economic downturn.

Electronic sales jobs boosted by Nokia laptop

26 August 2009 16:03:08

Nokia's announcement that it is going to diversify into the netbook market could be good news for electronics sales jobs, as more workers could be needed to manufacture its new ground-breaking product.

The Booklet 3G is Nokia's first attempt to enter this emerging market and sales jobs could be bolstered as more people try to get their hands on the product, which merges mobile and laptop technology.

Paul Allen, editor of Computer Active magazine, said the Swedish company has made a logical move by developing the new product, which he thinks could seriously shake up the industry.

He said: "I believe that the two devices have features that overlap but they also have very specific features that are only useful in their own arena."

The mobile giant recently said that the Booklet 3G is a natural evolution as more people want an item that unites the computing power of a PC with the full benefits of mobility.
