Construction innovator Merit is eyeing further growth and the potential to export abroad following a record year which saw revenues top £60m.
The Cramlington company is currently expanding its base at Admiral Business Park, creating a new high-bay extension at its base to add an extra 40,000sqft to its current floor space of 270,000sqft. As well as creating 50 new jobs to add to its 220-strong workforce, the height of the extension will enable clients to see their facilities before they are installed.
The extra space is needed following a string of contract wins, with more to come, as more companies become aware of its innovative construction skills, which sees Merit pre-assemble between 75% and 95% of a building at its factory, ahead of being shipped and installed at its final destination.
