Recently released information has shown that the strong performance of the UK automotive sector has been sustained. Figures released for September 2016 show growth in key areas. This is despite the fact that certain factors are placing pressure on all areas of the national economic outlook. John Gibson Associates, the company at the forefront of the UK's automotive recruitment services, believe the approach to employment strategies which they introduced are at the foundation of this success.

Production figures recently released show that nearly 160,000 new cars were produced in the UK during September 2016. This represents an increase of close to 1% in respect of the disclosed production figures for September 2015. In respect of the destination of the new cars produced during September 2016, some 77% of new vehicles built were destined for the export market. This figure in itself contributed significantly to another milestone of success being passed by the UK automotive sector.

The 2016 year-to-date figure for UK car exports passed the 1,000,000 mark with the confirmation of the September production levels. This represents a 12% increase on the year-to-date figure from September 2015. It is also the first time that exports have exceeded one million by this point of the year.

John Gibson Associates believe the increased levels of production and exports have been achieved through a more considered approach to employment requirements. By making more informed recruitment decisions based on a more detailed understanding of applicants businesses within the UK automotive sector have been able to make more successful appointments. The success of appointments can be measured in the long term employment record of those appointed through John Gibson Associates. Ensuring long term employment retention periods with staff is vital in ensuring stability in business operations and processes - a factor which itself leads to growth and sustained success.

With three decades of experience behind them, John Gibson Associates have taken pride in enabling success in the British motor industry. The approach to recruitment they introduced to the UK has delivered long term employment strategies which have been crucial to driving growth. With their automotive recruitment services on board, many of the leading companies in the UK motor industry have gone from strength to strength.
