SCH begins £500k expansion
Finley Structures have begun a £500,000 expansion of its County Durham factory.
The firm acquired the 39,000 sq ft unit adjacent to its current premises on Aycliffe Business Park to develop the site for its sister company, SCH Site Services.
SCH Site Services is a stand-alone firm which works alongside Finley Structures, focusing on structural steel installation and secondary steelwork packages.
The new site is a £500,000 investment which will create at least 10 new jobs, boosting SCH’s current 27-strong workforce, on top of the 51 current Finley Structures employees.
Finley Structures managing director John Finley, pictured in the site, said “This is a positive development for the group of companies which will create new jobs in the area and enhance the business significantly.
“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.”
SCH will be looking to employ Contract Managers, Welders, Platers and Labourers at the new facility.
Finley Structures has just completed high-profile contracts with Tolent Construction at Nifco’s new site near Stockton and BAM Construction at its Sunderland Software Centre.
It is also currently working on jobs at North Shields Metro Station for May Gurney Rail Services Limited, Hebburn Primary School for Carillion Building and Central Walker Primary School in Newcastle for Sir Robert McAlpine.
