Cylinder Service to create jobs at site

A COMPANY is moving premises and creating jobs.

Next month, Washingtonbased Cylinder Service Centre will move from its premises, in Bentall Business Park, to a purpose- built 24,00sq ft factory premises - capable of handling contracts from around the globe.

The move, which is forecasted to increase turnover by 60 per cent to about £2.8m, is also expected to increase the workforce by 50 per cent to 48 over the next five years.

Set up by sole trader Gary Davidson in 1994, the company is now one of the UK's largest specialists in the repair, design and manufacture of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, and has global blue-chip customers from industries including car manufacturing, shipbuilding and offshore engineering.

The recently-established North-East England Investment Centre (NEEIC) helped with the move.

NEEIC works assists new businesses to develop by investing public funds in companies that need advice and support.

Mr Davidson was awarded an investment of £10,000 towards the consultancy.
