It is aiming to recruit 500 new employees
A major Nottingham employer says its £10 million investment in the city could become a "blueprint" for its sites around the world as it recruits hundreds more staff. Domestic & General , a worldwide insurer of appliances and gadgets ranging from washing machines to TVs, is aiming to have recruited around 500 new staff at its Nottingham office across the remainder of the year.
"It's really a different way of thinking about the office and the fact it's right next to the station, near coffee shops, bars and restaurants, gives it a real social feeling. When people are coming in, and they might not be doing it every day, they'll potentially go and spend time in the city afterwards.
D&G offers protection for repairs and if this is not possible, the company will replace an appliance. A subscription service was introduced years ago, which now sees around five million customers paying a few pounds a month. News of the company's growth comes despite other adverse economic conditions, such as the war in Ukraine and rising inflation, having forced many other companies to make significant cutbacks. It was recently announced that all manufacturing of Boots products could be moving out of Nottingham as part of cost-cutting plans by the French firm Fareva.
Around 100 people a month are currently being recruited to work at the Nottingham office, equating to around 1,200 posts a year. But Mr Crummack says the people filling these roles are more "geographically diverse" as a result of D&G's flexible working policy.
