Computing company Hewlett-Packard (HP) is setting up a new information technology section, which will generate 700 new posts in Scotland. It is a remarkable turnaround as it was just 12 months ago that HP trimmed 700 manufacturing jobs at the Glasgow plant and said it was transferring the work to the Czech Republic. Marc Waters, head of strategy and integration at HP UK and Ireland, said: "HP has a strong heritage in Scotland and I am delighted to confirm our investment to develop the Erskine site as a hub for delivering industry-leading technology services."
