Today, British Prime Minister David Cameron arrived at a state visit to Japan. His trip was feted as a success even before his plane touched down at Tokyo’s Haneda airport.  Nissan announced that a new midsized model will be produced at Nissan’s Sunderland Plant in 2014.

The currently unnamed hatch will bring more than 1,000 jobs to the region, 225 at Nissan and 900 at suppliers. Together with the B-segment compact car announced in Geneva, Nissan will bring more than 3,000 new jobs to the UK, and increased job security to David Cameron.

    I like Cameron; he’s done a good job isolating Britain from the economic mess in the rest of Europe. Good for them getting this plant.

      The Sunderland plant has been there for a long time and I believe is Nissan’s more productive/efficient European plant.

      Bertel – where does 3000 jobs come from since the new Hatchback creates 1125 with Nissan and Suppliers. Is the extra 1800-1900 jobs the expected economic knock on impact?

      this plant has been around for a long time, well before Cameron came to power.

      and UK isolated from the mess? that’s hilarious, half of its exports go to the eurozone
