East Midlands Airport half way to 1000 new jobs target
28.08.11
More than half of the 1,000 jobs East Midlands Airport hoped to create this year have been filled. Opportunities varied from working in a new airport hotel or with a courier service based on the site to scaring birds from the runway. Several job events are planned to help find suitable applicants for the remaining posts.
The airport set the 1,000 jobs recruitment target in April. The airport's managing director, Brad Miller, said: ‘Those thousand jobs are coming from all different sectors and we are recruiting ourselves. For example we are taking on what we call airport ambassadors, who are constantly in the check-in hall looking out for people who are a little lost or unsure to point them in the right direction.’
The new £22m Radisson Blu airport hotel is to recruit 100 staff alone. The airport site employs about 7,000 people and is the UK's second largest cargo hub. About 100 companies use the site.
