Pico Technology

Here is your first Automotive Diagnostics update for 2008.

1.  We Have Moved

We have completed our move to James House in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, UK. The new building is just a short drive from our old premises but several times the size, giving us space for our business to grow. This means that we will be taking on more staff in 2008. See our Employment Opportunities section below for a list of the positions currently available, and then check our careers website at http://pico.jobs regularly for updates.

Our new address is at the end of this newsletter.
