Car factories want more workers

20 January 1962

CAR FACTORIES WANT MORE WORKERS
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT
OXFORD. JAN. 19

Morris Motors, one of the British Motor Corporation factories at Oxford, and the neighbouring car-body manufacturers. Pressed Steel Company, between them need more than 1,000 new workers.

Production in both factories is almost back to the peak reached before the 1960-61 recession and will probably be even greater before the end of the year. At Morris Motors it is planned to increase output from 5,000 to 8,000 vehicles a week by next year. Both factories expect to start extra night shifts, and Pressed Steel may work a three-shift system in the busiest departments.
