Millicom Inc, Racal Electronics’ erstwhile partner in cellular communications, stayed on to build itself a business retailing cellular and paging services in the UK after the parting of the ways with Racal, and is now growing so fast that it needs to expand beyond its 300-employee London operation, where it is finding it hard to recruit adequate staff. It has therefore set itself an ambitious programme to invest UKP5m, UKP900,000 of it from government grants, to establish a complementary base in Darlington, County Durham to handle billing and service for its customer base, which stands at 35,000 and is growing at 3,500 a month. It expects to employ an initial 600 people at the new base, and sees it reaching 1,000 by 1992.
