Dell to create 400 UK jobs

Dell is looking to hire 400 new workers in the UK, the hardware manufacturer has announced.

The 400 positions will be in sales and support and will be based in a new office, to open in Glasgow by 2006.

Dell currently employees around 1,000 staff in the UK, based in Bracknell, and the company recently announced the hiring of 420 new staff for its Ireland base in Cherrywood.

According to Paul Bell, Dell's president of EMEA, the expansion is necessary to support the company's future growth and customers in the PC maker's second biggest market outside the US.

Growth is certainly on Dell's agenda for the next year. Despite notching up its best ever quarter, the company has now set its sights on an $80bn target for the future, up on previous benchmark of $60bn.
