A maker of soundproofing products for the construction industry has invested £500,000 in a move from Liverpool to Sheffield.
Hush Acoustics has taken a 15,000 sqft factory at Tinsley Industrial Estate after it said no suitable premises for its expansion were available on Merseyside. The relocation means Hush now has significantly increased production and stockholding capabilities.
The acoustic insulation specialist employs 15 people at the new Sheffield site - including six people relocated from Liverpool and nine recruited locally - which it says will help it keep lead times to a minimum for customers. In addition to Hush's timber soundproofing products, the Yorkshire factory will manufacture the firm's rubber-based insulation materials, including acoustic membranes for concrete floors.
