BTE Automotive Launches Recruitment Drive as Expansion Accelerates

We’re proud to announce a significant milestone in the journey of BTE Automotive — as we continue to grow and evolve, we are officially launching a recruitment drive to support our expansion into a third operational unit at the Woolmer Trading Estate in Bordon.
