CoolKit to appoint 100+ staff in major recruitment drive

Burnley-based CoolKit is expanding its team under a recruitment drive that could see more than 100 new staff appointed.

CoolKit CEO Rupert Gatty is embarking on a major recruitment drive

The manufacturer of temperature-controlled vehicle solutions expects revenue to grow three-fold over the next five years and CEO Rupert Gatty is embarking on a major recruitment drive.

He explained: “We have recently secured a number of large orders for vehicle conversions, putting us in a fortunate position to be able to take on new recruits.”

Gatty added: “Our strategy is to significantly increase CoolKit’s market share in the UK – selling more van conversions and converted vans, whilst simultaneously growing sales into overseas markets with our improved kit form conversions.”

To support its plans, CoolKit is seeking manufacturing/assembly operatives, van lining fitters and auto-electricians to join its team as soon as possible.

“While experience is desirable, it is not essential; what we really need is people with the right passion and attitude and we’ll support their training and growth,” Gatty continued.

The business has already made management preparations for growth, supported by investment in a robust management team that includes newly created roles such as head of marketing and business development manager.

Details of the new positions are available online.
