A secondary steelwork firm has moved into its new £500,000 premises in the town.
SCH Site Services is a division of Newton Aycliffe-based steel erecting firm Finley Structures, and has just moved into its new factory on Aycliffe Business Park.
The stand-alone firm works alongside Finley Structures, focusing on structural steel installation and secondary steelwork packages, as well as working for other external clients.
The new site, adjacent to the Finley site in Aycliffe, is a £500,000 investment which created 10 new jobs and boosted SCH’s workforce to 27.
Andy Braid, construction manager for SCH, said: “We have developed the secondary steel work side of our operations in recent months and this new site is a natural progression for SCH.
“It makes sense to segregate the secondary steel work into the new premises in order to maintain our specialised workforce in the separate areas of the business.
“Our range of secondary steelwork includes barriers, bollards, flooring, handrails, railings and staircases, while we also supply and install balustrades and canopies.”
Information about SCH’s secondary work can be found at Finley Structures’ website, www.finleystructures.co.uk
