Bahrainis now make up more than 60 percent of the workforce at the Kingdom's Mohammed Jalal & Sons (MJS) Company, according to a company spokesman.
General Manager of MJS John Murray said that the uptake of Bahrainis into a variety of positions from sales through to the division's service center, has taken a particular upturn in the past six months, where an increase of 35 percent over last year has been recorded.
"We have long-since had a good workforce balance in terms of the number of Bahrainis taking up positions with MJS. However, we placed a particular emphasis on spotlighting the career opportunities within the automotive sector in 2000,” said Murray.
The automotive division of Mohammed Jalal and Sons was established in 1964 and holds the franchise for Jaguar, Peugeot, Suzuki and Subaru. The company has a full service department and body shop for all brands of vehicles and a comprehensive spare parts division located in Al-Khamis. — (menareport.com)
