Best Buy moves closer to entering UK

Best Buy has launched a recruitment drive to attract thousands of workers in Britain, moving the US-based consumer-electronics giant closer to entering the UK. "We are really pleased to begin the recruitment drive for our first stores and are looking forward to meeting the talented individuals we hope will apply for the thousands of opportunities we plan to create across the UK," said Paul Antoniadis, CEO of branded operations at Best Buy. The company has found the process more difficult than expected. Its first UK stores will open in Southampton and Thurrock in the spring, months later than originally planned.
