A Bexhill-based business is expanding yet again - bringing another 200 jobs to the town.
Insurer Hastings Direct, which is located in Conquest House, Collington Avenue, is continuing to buck the economic trend, seeing growth through its car, home, van and bike insurance products.
In 2011 the company grew by 30 per cent, trebling its profits and creating 400 new jobs.
It ended the year being named as Personal Lines Broker of the Year.
The new jobs are full-time equivalents, and cover everything from entry level to senior management.
Part-time applicants are being encouraged to apply for entry level roles as job shares, and shifts include evenings and weekends.
Applicants must be aged 18 and over.
Amanda Menahem, HR director at Hastings Direct, said: “We are a UK success story and a great place to work.
“This year we have enjoyed formal recognition for our people strategy as well as winning awards for our business development and anti-fraud work.
“As our business expands, we need to fill roles in all areas from finance to facilities, IT, marketing and our call centres. We are committed to growing our people and continue to invest heavily in staff development; we have doubled our leadership and development programme and will create college leaver and graduate schemes later in the year.”
In 2011, a customer took out a policy with Hastings Direct every 41 seconds and the company aims to have insurance with one in 20 of the UK population by 2020.
