Oxford distribution and logistics company Unipart will recruit 1,000 new workers.
As reported in the late edition of yesterday's Oxford Mail, the company, which employs 1,000 people at its Oxford plant and 9,000 nationwide, will take on 80 new staff in Oxford over the coming year with the majority of the remaining 920 going to Nottingham.
A spokesman said that the recruitment campaign for the new jobs, which have been created as a result of a distribution contract with Boots, would be launched with adverts in the Oxford Mail and its sister paper the Oxford Star.
Unipart was originally a subsidiary car parts distribution company of BMC. There was a management buy-out of 80 per cent of the firm in 1987, with the final 20 per cent of the shares being bought from Rover in 1999.
