Hewlett-Packard to create 700 jobs

Aug 25 2010

Computer giant Hewlett-Packard has announced plans to create 700 jobs by establishing an IT centre at its Scottish base.

The firm said it intended to make Erskine in Renfrewshire a hub for delivering IT services to UK clients. The site is currently home to the global firm's sales and customer support operations.

About 700 manufacturing jobs were axed last year after a restructure led to the transfer of production to the Czech Republic.
