A FAMILY lighting business has expanded its operations.
Castlegate Lights has moved to Stokesley, North Yorkshire, after nearly 30 years in Middlesbrough and Stockton, where trade had declined.
The showroom, on the Terry Dicken Industrial Estate, in Station Road, comes after the company improved its website and saw online sales figures climb.
The company, which sells domestic lighting to individuals, trade and wholesale, now employs three members of staff and is looking to expand.
Owner Colin Boal said: “We’ve worked hard to get this far, but it will be worth it, and maybe we can employ another member of staff from the local area.”
