Online retailer to create 150 jobs at Castle Donington

Retailer Buy It Direct is set to create another 150 jobs at its major new distribution hub near East Midlands Airport.

The firm is currently fitting-out its new 563,000 sq ft warehouse near Castle Donington, next door to Marks & Spencer’s giant distribution centre.

Buy It Direct has already hired 50 staff through Sky Recruitment Solutions, but now wants another 150 by the end of the year.

Beckie Elliott, business manager for Sky Recruitment Solutions, said: “Recruitment is absolutely vital for this company and, although the targets are very ambitious, it’s going very well.

“It is an impressive operation and is a fantastic chance for people to upskill and take advantage of improved pay rates.”

Elliott said Sky was seeking pro-active and reliable people to work in permanent positions, with full training given where required.

She added: “This contract is massive for us and just shows how far our company has come in the last few years.”
