Peugeot to create 700 jobs in Coventry

Seven hundred jobs are set to be
created at Peugeot’s Coventry plant after existing staff voted in favour of a
fourth daily shift.

The extra shift is expected to
create a further 700 jobs and boast the plant’s chances of surviving the motor
industry’s global overcapacity crisis.
