An auto parts manufacturer has announced that it is creating 100 new jobs as the UK car industry continues to grow in strength, the Express & Star reports.

ThyssenKrupp Tallent, based in Cannock, Staffordshire, had to shed more than 300 jobs during its lowest point of the economic crisis, but this latest news suggests it is returning to good health.

The firm is looking for recruits to join its factory team, which produces structural under-body parts for many leading car brands, and some of the jobs will be permanent, the news provider said.

Paul Everitt, chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, told the newspaper: "Headline figures demonstrate a steady improvement in home and export markets.

"But the industry will continue to face tough market conditions with the scrappage scheme closing and limited access to finance and credit."

The car parts manufacturer also has factories in India, Belgium, the USA and China.
