Chippenham-based Holman, one of the world’s largest automotive specialist companies, is creating around 100 new jobs – with more to follow.

The global company provides a range of services to the automotive industry, including vehicle funding and fleet management in the UK.

The move comes as the Holman business in the UK continues to expand, making it one of the most successful and diverse supplier businesses within the dynamic automotive sector.

The expansion at its UK headquarters in Chippenham, coupled with adding a new office in Birmingham, will see Holman dramatically increase its workforce with a focus on customer service.

Among the new jobs being created in Chippenham are roles for maintenance technicians and customer service operatives.

Nick Caller, managing director of Holman in the UK, said: “Holman is continuing its extraordinary growth in the UK so we need exceptional people to join us as we continue on our journey.

"Although we are expanding with a new location in Birmingham due to significant growth, Chippenham is our home, as it has been for many years, and we will continue to invest locally."
