Last year Hewlett Packard cut 700 jobs at its factory in Erskine, Renfrewshire, but just yesterday announced that it is about to create 700 jobs at the same site.
Hewlett Packard is hoping to open an IT centre on the site, which already houses the sales and support operations for the company. It is believed around 700 additional staff will be needed to successfully operate the service, ensuring the same high service one would expect from such a large and well known company.
A third of Hewlett Packard’s revenue income is from PC sales, something which has a boost around this time of year. Some children starting secondary school or those off to university find that coursework and essays are easier to manage when written on a laptop. Research is easier when using the internet.
A sign of the times means children no longer head to the library when needing to find out information, preferring instead to log on to the internet where often what they are searching for is found within seconds.
