Sales recruitment: Scrappage scheme could boost retail roles

Extending Comet's home appliance scrappage scheme across the UK could help to improve the nation's energy-efficiency, according to one expert, whose proposals could boost retail sales jobs.

Darren Johnson, Green Party member of the London Assembly, said that the scheme, which has been put in place by the retailer, could be copied throughout Britain.

Mr Johnson added that there needs to be more incentives at a national level in order to entice consumers to partake in a scrappage scheme.
