British Steel to hire more staff weeks after government rescue

British Steel is revamping its workforce with over 180 new hires to recover from government intervention and secure a return to steel production at its Scunthorpe plant. The company aims to preserve jobs in Teesside and Skinningrove by maintaining operations temporarily with new coal supplies, while CEO Allan Bell underlines the vital role of government support in reviving the company as a global leader. The focus is on recruiting skilled workers for engineering, operational roles, and customer service positions, alongside long-term sustainability using cleaner technologies to ensure stability and growth.
