Rolls-Royce has just added 200 new employees to meet growing demand from China for its ultra-luxury Phantom. The 200 new jobs takes the workforce at Rolls-Royce’s Goodwood factory to 700 employees. Ian Robertson, Rolls-Royce’s chief executive, said that China is now Rolls-Royce’s third-biggest market, behind the U.S. and U.K.

The additional staff comes ahead of the upcoming convertible version of the Phantom, and the new smaller, lower price model.
