Swinton creates 100 jobs with new deal

Swinton will create up to 100 jobs as part of a business deal with vehicle information firm HPI.

As part of the deal Swinton will give customers a week’s free comprehensive cover when they buy a new car from an HPI car dealership.

The new staff will be employed at a new Swinton call centre set up to handle business calls.

Swinton chief executive Christophe Bardet said: “HPI is the UK’s leading car information expert and we are delighted to be joining forces with them.”

HPI managing director Daniel Burgess said: “By partnering with Swinton we can continue to offer the high quality of customer service which we pride ourselves on and our dealers will benefit from a fast, efficient and personal service.”
