General Motors is one of UK’s top employers

General Motors is one of the best places to work in the UK and Ireland, according to an expert panel of academics, HR practitioners and business writers who have selected GM UK and Ireland to appear in Britain's Top Employers – 2008, published by Guardian Books.

Companies included in the publication were judged across a number of categories including pay and benefits, progression and development, work/life balance and company culture for inclusion in the list, which was also announced in The Guardian on 12 April 2008.

Bill Parfitt, Executive Director, GM UK & Ireland and Managing Director of Vauxhall Motors, said: “Our aims for GM in the UK are quite clear. Not only do we want to be Number One in the automotive business, we also want to be seen as one of the most dynamic and exciting companies in the UK in which to work and somewhere where you really can contribute. This recognition proves that we are moving in the right direction.”

GM UK and Ireland is the UK and Republic of Ireland operating arm of the General Motors Corporation which includes: Vauxhall Motors, Saab GB, Chevrolet UK, Opel Ireland, Cadillac, Corvette and Hummer.
