whats is happening at Toyota ?

We supply finance for the forklift industry in the UK , We supply Finance for indepentant dealers. Over the last 3 Months we have noticed that Toyota have been employing sales people through out the country through Total Jobs in total around 30 to 40 new people and in areas mainly serviced by there dealers.
This has raised questions and concerns about any long term future for there dealers or have they just off loaded alot of poor sales people ?
