Plextek to increase staff numbers by 10% to meet growing international customer demand

Issued 28/02/2007

On going business success creates requirement for new personnel in 2007

Plextek Limited, the Cambridge-based electronics design consultancy, announces that it will be increasing its staff numbers by more than 10% during Q1 2007 as part of an extensive business expansion. At least 10 new engineering, product design and project management positions have been created, with the company particularly focussed on individuals with strong radio experience. The recruitment drive will help Plextek to cope with increasing global demand for its services.

In the last two years Plextek has been increasing business outside its core design consultancy work to increase its global competitiveness. This has included a range of product design services and the launch of its first branded product, the Blighter portable radar for the security market. Most recently Plextek has been providing contract manufacturing services for its design customers, meaning the firm can now manage a product through its entire cycle from design to manufacture and supply.

Colin Smithers, Managing Director of Plextek, commented: "Our decision to adapt the business model over the last few years has proved very successful. We're performing very well as a business and have many exciting projects in the pipeline. The contribution from Plextek's product design and supply projects, and from sales of our Blighter radar units, will soon exceed consultancy revenues. To keep up with this demand we're looking to hire a number of personnel to fill new engineering, design and project management positions within the company and are particularly interested in radio and RF IC engineers. It's great to be in a position to be on the hunt for talented individuals who can make a valuable contribution to the future growth and success of the company."
