Manufacturing confidence 'translating into recruitment'

06 September 2010 14:41:15

There is greater confidence in the manufacturing sector as orders begin to pick up and this is translating into increased recruitment, according to the latest report.

A survey carried out by EEF, the manufacturers' organisation, shows that UK firms are continuing to report buoyant trading conditions as a result of rising demand in overseas markets, which points to positive growth prospects in 2010.

Additionally, greater confidence across the sector is leading to the creation of more jobs as organisations point towards growth in the coming months.

Commenting on the findings, EEF chief economist Lee Hopley said manufacturers have continued to "reap the rewards" of growth in overseas markets, with the upswing being felt across all sectors and regions.

"Not only has this continued to translate into better employment prospects but the recovery in investment has begun much earlier in the cycle than after previous recessions," the expert explained.

It comes after Rosa Wilkinson, managing director of UKTI, recently said that there is not only a return to confidence across the business community in the UK, but across the whole of Europe.

Jobs market 'facing demand from military personnel'

03 September 2010 14:58:20

The jobs market is facing demand from military personnel as people leave the armed forces and take on civilian roles such as a sales engineer, it has been claimed.

A new report by Leicester-based Gemini Forces shows that the organisation is anticipating a "surge" in the numbers of military personnel leaving the forces and entering the civilian jobs market after rumours that several British Army regiments could be facing the axe over defence funding.

According to Harry Dean, Gemini forces director who served in the army for 30 years, said several regiments could "pay the price" when the comprehensive spending review is announced in October.

"This could potentially lead to a huge influx of ex-military personnel looking for jobs in the civilian market," he noted.

According to John Salt, director of Totaljobs.com, it is essential that jobseekers are flexible in their approach to sales recruitment if they are to enhance their prospects of securing a position.

Investment 'favoured over cost-cutting'

02 September 2010 12:11:56

Many global businesses are favouring investment over cost-cutting in order to aid recovery, particularly in the manufacturing sector, a new report has claimed.

According to the study, published by Eversheds, businesses will continue to drive demand and will also have a stronger appetite to invest in three key areas in the near future - staffing levels, marketing activity and research and development projects.

Stephen Sorrell, partner at Eversheds, said that the findings show a very "mixed picture" in terms of confidence levels and the ways in which businesses have tackled the challenging economic climate.

"It's really encouraging to see that the manufacturing industry is among the most optimistic, while the construction sector, which was arguably the hardest hit by the global recession, has a healthy level of optimism in line with the global average," he noted.

A switch to sales engineer 'could be a good move'

17 August 2010 14:41:56

Making a career switch to a sales engineer could be a positive move as long as people research the sector before changing, one expert has claimed.

Steve Huxham, chairman of the Recruitment Society, said that the industry is currently crying out for sales engineers but some people are either unaware of the opportunities or have not researched the role well enough.

He pointed out that anybody can change careers and benefit significantly, but the key is to first spend time researching the industry to see what is in store and what the role will demand.

"I know for a fact that there are plenty of jobs available with businesses who need engineers – but they are struggling to find that talent. With engineering – is that now a good word to have on your business card again?" he stated.

Mr Huxham added that if the personal investment that people need to make through retraining to be a sales engineer "makes sense", then the career switch is "well worth contemplating".

Recently, research carried out by IntaPeople showed that there is a growing demand for people in the engineering sector and listed it in the top ten most in-demand positions in the first six months of 2010.

With extensive experience in technical sales recruitment Aaron Wallis offer a wide range of sales engineer jobs across engineering, manufacturing, industrial, construction, electronics, scientific and M&E.

Engineers 'in demand' in 2010

11 August 2010 14:04:54

There is a huge demand for people in roles such as sales engineers in 2010, according to a new report.

Research carried out by IntaPeople showed that there is a growing demand for people in the engineering sector and listed the top ten most in demand positions in the first six months of 2010.

Buyers and cost engineers, supply chain consultants and planning engineers all featured on the list, which shows that the sector is bucking the trend seen in many other industries following the recession, said Chris Day, head of IntaPeople's engineering division.

"Despite some difficult conditions, organisations across the country have continued to recruit highly talented engineers as they look to deliver innovative, market-leading solutions," he explained.

Mr Day added that the growing demand for logistical experts also coincides with the launch of a number of "exciting new projects" around the country.

It comes after Steve Huxham, chairman of the Recruitment Society, suggested that many staff may be looking to make the switch to other sectors, such as engineering, to take advantage of more buoyant job markets.

Employees 'considering career switches' in the near future

10 August 2010 14:09:37

Many staff are considering switching careers at the moment in order to take advantage of more buoyant jobs markets in other sectors, it has been claimed.

Steve Huxham, chairman of the Recruitment Society, said that there is always a risk in switching roles or careers, but people ultimately have to "take responsibility" for their own occupations.

His comments follow the publication of the latest Recruitment and Employment Confederation/KPMG report on jobs, which showed further increases in permanent and temporary staff appointments during July.

Mr Huxham explained: "If you believe that lessons have been learned in trying to have a mixed economy rather than the government only focusing on the public sector, then you could reasonably switch careers."

He pointed out that manufacturing is one industry which offers many possibilities for people looking to switch careers, as long as they are aware of the risks of moving from one sector to another.

Looks 'a key factor' when it comes to recruitment

09 August 2010 14:28:04

A person's appearance often plays a key role when it comes to being hired for a particular job, a new survey has found.

Research carried out by experts at the University of Colorado Denver Business School, shows that female applicants often have an advantage when it comes to their chances of successful sales recruitment if they are attractive.

However, where supposedly 'masculine' jobs such as mechanical engineer are concerned, good looks can be detrimental.

Professor Stefanie Johnson, assistant professor of management at the university, commented: "In two studies, we found that attractiveness is beneficial for men and women applying for most jobs, in terms of ratings of employment suitability. However, attractiveness was more beneficial for women applying for feminine sex-typed jobs than masculine sex-typed jobs."

It comes after Jerri Barrett, vice president of marketing for Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology, said that there are currently not enough women in technical roles such as IT, which is often due to the small percentage of female students in college classes.

Financial stability 'will lead to recruitment boost'

03 August 2010 14:49:19

Many small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are waiting until their financial outlook is clear before commuting to hiring more staff, a new survey has revealed.

A report carried out by Administaff as part of its Business Confidence Survey found that 61 per cent of small business owners, which may include packaging firms, will delay their expectation of an economic rebound until 2011 or later, while over 18 per cent feel a turnaround will happen in 2010 and 20 per cent are unsure.

Paul Sarvadi, Administaff's chairman and chief executive officer, said that many firms are seeing an improvement in their financial situation, however, and this will lead to more workers being hired in the coming months.

"Many owners of SMBs seem to be hesitant to commit important financial resources in the face of current economic uncertainty. However, they appear to be ready and willing to make those positive decisions as soon as key fiscal elements are in place," he explained.

It comes after Martin Warnes, managing director of reed.co.uk, said that hiring managers within the sector are becoming more active in anticipation of the industry experiencing a boost in demand and productivity in the coming months.

Manufacturing sector 'preparing for future growth'

02 August 2010 15:09:08

Companies in the manufacturing sector are gradually preparing for future growth as recruitment picks up, one expert has noted.

Hiring managers within the sector are becoming more active in anticipation of the industry experiencing a boost in demand and productivity in the coming months, according to Martin Warnes, managing director of reed.co.uk.

He explained that the company's most recent Job Index showed that there was a significant rise in demand for new workers in the manufacturing industry last month, which is sure to boost sales recruitment opportunities.

"The increase in manufacturing sector demand is particularly significant. Clearly while demand in the public sector falls back other areas are preparing for future growth, even though it is difficult to predict how robust this will be over the rest of the summer," Mr Warnes said.

Recently, Kevin Green, chief executive of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation, said that the economic outlook is far more positive than at the start of the year, with companies likely to recruit in the near future.

Audi's milestone could be good news for sales jobs

22 July 2010 15:59:00

One of Europe's most-respected car manufacturers has passed a major landmark after it recorded more than two million sales in a hard-to-crack marketplace.

The sale of an Audi A3 TDI to a customer in California saw the Germany car manufacturer pass the milestone and Audi America president Johan de Nysschen said the fact that the car was sold to a first-time buyer shows how far it has come.

"Audi started selling its very first cars, the Super 90 and 100, 40 years ago. With record sales this quarter, something tells us it will take far less than that amount of time to hit the next two million Audis," CarThrottle.com stated.

De Nysschen added that the company is planning to launch the redesigned A8 flagship in November, which could be good news for people in sales jobs trying to attract buyers.

Audi recently stated that its well-built, intelligent cars need to be driven intelligently in order for them to reach their optimum energy efficiency.

Toyota hybrid could bolster manufacturing sales jobs

30 June 2010 15:55:00

One of the world's largest car manufacturers has chosen the UK as a base for the production of its new hybrid vehicle and has given a lift to British manufacturing in the process, according to one senior cabinet member.

The business secretary MP Vince Cable, who spoke at the official launch at the Burnaston plant in Derbyshire, said that the decision from the Japanese manufacturing giant shows that the UK is attractive to companies using sales recruitment.

"Toyota's decision to make Burnaston the only plant in the world to build the hybrid Auris is a strong endorsement of the UK as a manufacturing base for the future," he said.

Katsunori Kojima, managing director of Toyota Manufacturing UK added that the official start of production of the Auris Hybrid Synergy Drive is a proud moment for the company and will give salesmen and women another quality product to sell.

Another car manufacturer which has been providing new products recently is Land Rover which managed to post profits of £32 million after an impressive start to the year.

BCC commits to helping British manufacturers

21 June 2010 15:31:07

One of the UK's largest business organisations has pledged to support British exporters and manufacturers from all over the country at a national conference.

David Frost, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said that the organisation is searching for ways its members can provide support to UK exporters, and the measures could help to bolster manufacturing sales jobs in the future.

"This country has some hugely successful exporters, large and small, but we don’t have enough of them. A major role for Chambers of Commerce is to get more businesses first of all thinking about trading overseas, and then more importantly, being successful at it," he said.

The expert added that export potential in goods and services will form a key part of a rebalanced UK economy.

Neville Hill, an economist at Credit Suisse, recently told the Financial Times that the positive purchasing managers' index has shown the growth that the UK manufacturing and export sector has seen.

Manufacturing sector keeps growing

02 June 2010 15:37:37

The UK's manufacturing sector continues to grow with the latest figures showing that it has expanded again after months of success, which has surprised some in the industry, according to an expert.

Neville Hill, an economist at Credit Suisse, told the Financial Times that the positive purchasing managers' index has caught some companies unaware as they attempt to deal with demand.

The positive figures could be great news for people searching for manufacturing sales jobs, as the number of appointments also grew for the second consecutive month, according to the publication.

Rob Dobson, economist at Markit, who produce the purchasing managers' index, added: "UK manufacturing maintained its blistering start to the second quarter. Although production remains well below pre-recession levels, the sector is now recovering its losses at a surprisingly rapid pace."

Wind energy could also help to bolster the UK's manufacturing industry as well, according to The Renewable Energy Centre.co.uk, which said it is worth millions to the country's economy.

Wind energy could help boost British manufacturing

21 May 2010 15:50:48

If Britain realises its potential as a world leader in wind energy then more jobs will be created and the economy will be stimulated, according to an expert.

A spokeswoman from The Renewable Energy Centre.co.uk said that, at the moment, there is too much red tape in the way of the steps which are needed to make Britain the centre of European wind energy.

Manufacturing is one area where sales jobs could be affected if the UK realises its potential, but the spokesperson believes around £11 billion is needed per year to create the ideal energy environment.

"Undoubtedly, with more renewables being planned and implemented, a new set of skills and manufacturing opportunities come with it which, in turn, can only have a positive effect on the British economy," she said.

In March, the Index of Production report showed that manufacturing productivity increased and Ian McCafferty, chief economic advisor for the Confederation of British Industry, predicted this would continue for the coming months.

Next 15 years 'will see boom in engineering industry'

12 May 2010 16:46:44

The next decade could hold many opportunities for those looking for sales jobs at specialist engineering firms, an expert has asserted.

Rob Scott, managing director of Aaron Wallis Sales Recruitment, said that the government is intending to make the UK a world leader in a range of precision engineering and precision electronics areas over the next ten to 15 years.

"Engineering is an ageing industry and not enough young people are graduating in these areas to ensure that we have a platform of engineering talent for the future," he said.

"When we talk to engineering companies and they see this as a real threat for the future," he explained.

"Perhaps engineering and scientific disciplines are not as 'sexy' as IT and media, for instance, but there is a real dearth of engineering graduates coming through. Many companies are saying that they'll have to look to source talent outside of Britain and the EU to fill their specialist roles."

However, when people and government respond to these trends engineering will be a boom industry, with Mr Scott predicting there would be "a lot of opportunities for the next generation and I for one am encouraging my own children down a scientific and engineering path".

Innovative manufacturing 'key area for Brits'

11 May 2010 17:21:02

The UK has a strong future in the field of innovative manufacturing, an expert has claimed.

Sahar Hashemi, business author, says that it is when crafting products which are unique that Britain really excels and urged the manufacturing industry to play to its undoubted strengths.

With a growth in manufacturing likely to lead to a rise in technical sales jobs, Ms Hashemi's confidence will be welcome news for jobseekers who have well-developed specialist skills.

Ms Hashemi added that innovation is one way in which the UK can differentiate itself from cheaper countries, emphasising quality and cutting-edge technology.

She said: "Where we can innovate is thinking of things that no one else does and building those. It will have to be manufacturing with an edge. We do things that people don't. That's where the opportunity is for us."

Her comments follow figures published by the Confederation of British Industry, which found that demand for goods produced by the country's small and medium-sized manufacturers is increasing both domestically and overseas.

Environmentally-friendly packaging 'growing in importance'

07 May 2010 17:04:56

The trend towards companies deploying environmentally-friendly packaging is likely to continue, an expert has asserted.

Sam Jarvis, spokesperson for Waste Watch, highlighted the fact that packaging changes are being made to a growing range of fast moving consumer goods.

People applying for packaging sales jobs should be aware of this trend, as the representative predicted that the cost savings it confers on companies are likely to remain important in the foreseeable future.

He said: "I think that it is a trend that probably will continue because it's a much lighter weight to transport and that means that there are fewer carbon emissions as a result."

Mr Jarvis listed some of the advantages of the packaging, including its lower carbon footprint and the cost savings on raw materials and transport.

His comments followed the news that supermarket chain Waitrose has announced that it will be launching wine in plastic bottles as a ploy to make the most of the festival-goer market this summer.

Caterpillar keeps climbing

06 May 2010 15:26:18

One of the UK's largest and well-known manufacturing firms is looking for more staff after a surge in sales and the relocation of some of its production.

Caterpillar, which is known for its plant vehicles, plans to recruit a further 300 workers to its Leicestershire base after production of one of its popular diggers was transferred to Britain from the US.

General manager Robert Droogleever revealed that around 80 per cent of the roles will be on the shop floor, while the remaining 20 per cent will be a mix of administerial and sales jobs.

David Sprason, a Conservative councillor in Desford, said: "It's great to see Caterpillar coming back after a deep recession."

Martin Traynor, managing director of Leicestershire Chamber of Commerce, told the Leicester Mercury that the new jobs are excellent news.

More manufacturers could be looking to fill sales jobs after the Chartered Institute for Purchasing and Supply revealed exporter confidence had reached its highest point since 1996 in April.

Exporter confidence hits 15-year high

05 May 2010 15:57:04

The confidence of exporters in the UK has hit its highest point since 1996, according to figures from the Chartered Institute for Purchasing and Supply (Cips).

People searching for manufacturing and industrial sales jobs could be buoyed by the Cips report, which showed that its managers' index of sentiment on export orders in April had risen to 60.71 from a low of 38.12 in November 2008.

"The good news is there are already signs this is starting to happen as employment levels are slowly rising on the back of strained capacity and backlogs of work reported for the first time in over a decade," said David Noble, the chief executive at Cips.

He added that there could be more good news for the manufacturing industry, as companies begin to increase their investment and start to build capacity again.

One British manufacturing firm which could soon be looking for more sales staff is Dyson, which recently announced it was recruiting after the success of its bladeless fans.

North-west: A haven for sales jobs seekers?

12 April 2010 14:49:46

Those looking for sales jobs in the UK may want to look to the north-west which was one of the top-performing regions in March for employment growth, research has indicated.

It was also one of the best areas in terms of output and new business, according to the Business Activity Index from analyst firm Markit, Crain's Manchester Business has reported.

The future looks good as well, with the news provider citing Markit economist Gemma Wallace as saying: "A combination of higher underlying demand, rising workloads and improving pricing power all bode well for future employment growth."

She explained that the north-west was one of the top performers in the entire of the first quarter of 2010, as "job creation picked up to a pace that was above the UK average".

People hoping to succeed in sales recruitment applications were most likely buoyed by figures from the Recruitment and Employment Confederation and KPMG which indicated that the number of jobs in the UK for both permanent and temporary/contract staff increased in March.

Banks must 'improve communication' with businesses

02 December 2009 10:11:57

Britain's banks need to improve their communication with managers of sales jobs if a return to normal lending conditions is to happen, according to the Institute of Directors (IoD).

Alexander Ehmann, head of parliamentary and regulatory affairs at the IoD, said that some of its members were still having problems accessing finance during the recession, but it is not as "widespread as some media commentary has made out".

"Banks are a little bit disengaged and a little bit distant. I think their communication will have to improve in order to see a return to absolute normality in terms of lending conditions," he added.

Mr Ehmann was commenting on new figures released by EEF, the manufacturer's organisation, which found increased positivity among its members towards credit conditions.

It showed that 32 per cent of firms reported an increase in the overall cost of finance, the lowest figure since the survey was first conducted at the end of 2007.

Thousands of business openings will be created before, during and after London hosts the Olympic Games in 2012, according to an industry expert.

It also confirmed that plans are running to schedule and within budget ahead of the opening in three year's time.

23 October 2009 16:26:18

The increasing levels of innovation in UK businesses are leading to the creation of technical sales jobs, a new book has suggested.

FutureStory Newcastle and the North East claims that new innovation, science and research jobs have been generated by entrepreneurial companies operating on the global stage.

He says: "That renaissance is being led by our people, backed up by public investment and a strong commitment to enterprise."

Thousands of Northamptonshire sales recruitment jobs to be created

24 September 2009 15:44:40

Up to 8,000 roles could be created in Northamptonshire, including sales jobs and engineering sales jobs, over the next 12 years.

Other sites across the region include Centrix Park, land between Wheatley Road and Station Road, which could be used for residential property, and Willowbrook North Industrial estate, which could be used for a car storage centre.

Office based firms offering sales jobs could also move to developed units, with a new railway station at Corby making the area more accessible.

Terry Begley, principal planner for Corby Council, told the Evening Telegraph that the sheer number of sites identified will encourage more investors to the project.

He added: "We want to build on the manufacturing and distribution businesses but the aspiration is also to create diversity in the economy and attract other business sectors."
