The insurance intermediary will be filling 84 new posts between now and January 2010 and local jobseekers are invited to a recruitment day on Saturday 31st October between 11.00 am and 1.00 pm, at Kwik Fit’s Tannochside Business Park offices, in Uddingston.

New employees will be taking up a variety of roles at the firm’s call centre including outbound sales, Internet sales and policy renewals.

Group managing director, Brendan Devine, says: “We’re looking at a number of opportunities for us to grow our business and we need to ensure we recruit good people who will help us to achieve this.”
