Mobile
phone and IT repair company CRC has re-created 50 jobs it axed during
cost-cutting activities earlier in the year, according to The Scotsman.
Most
of the staff hired to fill the vacancies were those who lost their jobs when
CRC reduced its headcount in February. The company said that an upturn in its
business has enabled it to re-create the jobs at its Glenrothes plant in Fife.
