To kick-start the recruitment drive for the new Manchester and Birkenhead branches, Northgate is holding two open days this month.

Vacancies include driver/valeter and customer service agent positions.

The first open day will take place on January 20 at the Holiday Inn Express in Manchester from 11am until 7pm, and the second will be held on January 29 at the Holiday Inn Ellesmere Port in Birkenhead from 11am until 7pm.

Helen Sutton, Head of HR at Northgate, said: “We are very proud of our success over the last year and excited about how the company will develop and grow in the North West during 2015, creating jobs and providing investment in the local economy.

"The career open days are an excellent opportunity for us to meet potential employees in the area and discuss the roles in more detail.”
