UK luxury car manufacturer Rolls-Royce is hiring 200 employees, as exports are set to increase post-Brexit. The company said it would hire staff in the UK, with a focus on its engineering and manufacturing operations at its factory near Oxford. The announcement, coming alongside the launch of the £250,000 ($328,832) Cullivan SUV, represents the company's commitment to UK car manufacturing, partially due to H1 2018 sales increasing 13% from last year. With Rolls-Royce's biggest export market being the US, followed by China, a trade deal with the EU is not as crucial as it is for its parent company, BMW.
