A major Nottingham employer says its £10 million investment in the city could become a "blueprint" for its sites around the world as it recruits hundreds more staff. Domestic & General (D&G), a worldwide insurer of appliances and gadgets ranging from washing machines to TVs, is aiming to have recruited around 500 new staff at its Nottingham office across the remainder of the year.
The company has a long history in Nottingham, having previously been based at a site in Talbot Street. That building was sold in April for £6.3 million, with the firm having now moved into a brand new base on Station Street.
D&G spent £10 million on this site as part of its new flexible working policy. The company previously said the base would be able to accommodate around 1,000 people, but employees are totally free to choose whether they want to work from home or in the office on any given day.
