Hope this gets you some leads but the sad fact is that there are very few automotive jobs in the North West and still fewer that will take you on except in an IT role without an engineering, management or finance degree. If your happy to move though, take a look on Autosports website at the jobs on there, try sites like Mclaren, Williams and Prodrive as they are recruiting a right old mixed bag of people and there might be something in there IT based (dont know what uni you went to but Prodrive seem to be very picky about the Uni's they will recruit graduates from) and generally have a trawl around jobsite etc (I posted my CV on there and have had loads of interest from agencies that seem genuinely interested). Oh, try M-sport in cumbria too, I havent heard the best things about how they hire and fire (buyers market for them) but they might have something?
