Scottish prototyping and 3D-printing company Angus 3D Solutions is investing more than £165,000 in new people, equipment and bigger premises.
The Brechin-based firm, led by manufacturing veteran Andy Simpson, is aiming to achieve turnover growth of more than 20% by the end of 2023.
One of the first parts of implementing the new growth plan with the firm's first apprentice, 18-year-old local school leaver Ritchie Webster, beginning his four-year Modern Apprenticeship in Additive & Subtractive Manufacturing at Dundee & Angus College next Monday.
