A new factory that will help create 43 new jobs thanks to a helping hand from the D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership has been officially opened.
Street Crane Ltd was successful in applying for a grant from D2N2’s Unlocking Investment for Growth programme (UI4G), which is supported by the Government’s Regional Growth Fund, last year.
The company secured £150,000 to help pave the way for a new building on its site as part of a £1.5m first phase of a three-part expansion at its Chapel-en-le-Frith headquarters.
It will see the company – which manufactures overhead cranes and crane components and distributes across the world – grow its number of jobs by more than 20 per cent in three years once the whole project, totalling £2.7m, is finished.
The new factory was officially opened by High Peak MP Andrew Bingham yesterday, with Street Crane hosting a special event for customers from across the globe at its headquarters.
