A CLEANING firm is looking to expand and take on more workers after moving to a new factory.

Platinum Cleaning Products, in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, says its switch to a new 20,000sq ft base is proving fruitful.

The company, run by husband and wife team Simon and Michelle Dixon, says it now wants to open three UK hubs and create jobs.

Employing 15 workers, with 140 cleaning staff on call, the firm supplies cleaning products and equipment to businesses.

Mr Dixon said: “With projected growth, we plan to open new UK hubs and significantly expand our workforce over the next 18 months.

“This will continue to guarantee short lead times and quality of service to our growing customer base.”
