According to a company statement, almost 5,000 new roles are being created to help deliver major transport projects in India, Britain, Ecuador, Senegal and the Democratic Republic of Congo, illustrating the scale of the economic transformation which accompanies DP World's commitment to make trade flow.

The international supply chain solutions business already employs more than 100,000 people directly.

Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DP World, said: "We are delighted that our investment is providing jobs for almost 5,000 people this year alone to help deliver major upgrades to the transport infrastructure of five different countries."

"Trade has the potential to transform people's lives and these new jobs show one of the ways that works in practice. When the projects are complete, the construction workers will leave a legacy of word class logistics infrastructure which will benefit customers, communities and continents for the next 50 years."

The key growth market of India will see 2,000 new construction jobs this year through the development of a new terminal at Tuna Tekra in the northwest.

A further 500 new roles will be created from DP World's delivery of rail and inland terminals across the subcontinent, a vital link in its end-to-end logistics network.
