Tallent Automotive celebrates expansion
Hundreds of employees and their families turned out for a special open day at a Staffordshire firm to celebrate its 125th anniversary.
Car parts manufacturer Tallent Automotive, which has just revealed £4 million plans to expand and create 40 jobs, opened the doors of its base, in Wolverhampton Road, Cannock, on Saturday.
Around 470 people came along, with employees showing their families what they do on a daily basis. Loader Chris Davies, aged 60, of Great Wyrley, who has worked for the firm for 15 years, brought his 14-year-old son, Ross, along to show around.
He said: "The company has changed a lot since I started working there.
"There's a lot more work than before. I feel proud to work for them.
"My son was quite interested in it all. They showed him the robots working."
The firm supplies makes body parts and supplies car makers like BMW and Nissan.
