Ford looking for people to hire at its national sales company

Ford Romania, the second leading carmaker on the local market, will hire more than 100 people for its new National Sales Company set to take over the import of the brand from Tiriac Holdings’ Romcar on the 1st of August. This was an over 200 million-euro business last year.

“Ads advertising jobs at the National Sales Company will be published over the coming month. The company will take over the entire sales and servicing network responsibilities in August 2010,” said Paul Flanagan, managing director of the National Sales Company of Ford in Romania.

Ford is unfreezing the job market in the automotive industry, after 10% of the car dealers closed up shop in 2009, while importers laid off up to 30% of their staff.

The company that will control marketing and sales, as well as Ford’s sales of parts and after-sales operations on the domestic market, will not take over the 90 employees of Romcar, most of whom will go to other automotive companies of the Tiriac Holding.
