A research and development (R&D) project expected to create up to 500 jobs is under way in the Highlands, after securing a £2.8m investment from Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE).
If successful, the £14m R&D spend by Ross-shire Engineering (RSE) will more than treble the company’s turnover and further its ambition for the region to be a centre of excellence for sustainable water treatment technology.
With its main operations in Muir of Ord and offices in Inverness, RSE already employs more than 800 people in Scotland - and 1,450 in the wider RSE Group.
