AN EAST Lancashire employment agency found itself "going Dutch" after a call for help from a Netherlands electronics firm.

VHE Techniek, based in Eindhoven, called on Power Jobs, of Rawtenstall, to find 10 circuit board assemblers to work in Holland.

Stuart McCreath (pictured), international recruitment manager with Power Jobs, said: "East Lancashire has highly skilled staff in this field, which is why VHE came to us.

"While much of traditional manufacturing has evaporated, the knowldege-base in the new industries is becoming increasingly impressive."
