Manufacturing firm to take on technicians

A manufacturing firm in the Black Country is bolstering its workforce by taking on 10 technicians.

ZF Powertrain Limited is recruiting six workers at its base in Stringes Close, Willenhall. Bosses are also taking on two new members of staff at each of their bases in Yorkshire and Ireland.

The firm makes parts for the bus and truck industries and its clients include National Express West Midlands and Arriva.

The technicians are needed to make gear boxes and axles for the vehicles.

Company secretary Barbara Douglas said: "We are advertising now so hopefully the interviews will take place in the next week or so. We want to get these places filled as soon as possible.

"Following the recent economic climate, things are starting to turn around. This is good news for us and good news for Willenhall."
