By Ray Massey PUBLISHED: 10:21 EST, 23 July 2013 | UPDATED: 03:35 EST, 24 July 2013 Bentley today announced more than 1,000 new jobs as part of a major £800million investment boost for the UK that will see a new £150,000 luxury 4X4 built in Britain rather than rival Bratislava. Prime Minister David Cameron was on hand at the Bentley factory in Crewe for the announcement which he hailed as ‘fantastic news’, a vote of confidence in Britain and another welcome sign of a healing UK economy. The new jobs and cash boost means Bentley will now build up to 4,000 a year of its first ever sports utility vehicle (SUV) at its factory in Crewe. It becomes the fourth model to roll off the line.
