Workers at an engineering firm were celebrating today after being given a £1,000 boost to help them deal with soaring bills. Fletcher Moorland bosses said the company had grown over the past two years and they wanted to show their appreciation.
Its managing director, Matt Fletcher, said the move came as prices rocketed for everything from energy to fuel. Speaking after the announcement to staff he said: "Because of the nature of our work we are in the fortunate position to have seen some strong growth over the past two years – despite covid.
"We have taken on 18 new staff since the start of the pandemic because of the demand we have seen from the renewable energy and electric vehicle sectors. Everybody has worked really hard.
