With vehicle manufacturing in the UK growing year-on-year, opportunities for UK-based suppliers to expand their businesses have never been more plentiful. Indeed, Brose – one of the purchasers at Meet the Buyer – has just announced the creation of 300 jobs in Coventry to cope with parts demand for the new Nissan Qashqai.
