Northumberland engineering firm to create jobs after Growth Fund grant

A Northumberland engineering firm is to create around 30 jobs on the back of a grant to boost its growth.

Cramlington’s Rapid UK Engineering Services, a precision component and assemblies specialist, has quadrupled its capacity to meet rising customer demand with the support of a £192,000 grant from the North of Tyne Growth Fund.

The company, which was founded 12 years ago, needed to meet demand from a global oil and gas firm, and used the Growth Fund grant to help it move from a 5,900 sq ft single-storey unit in Bedlington to a 14,500 sq ft two-storey unit in Cramlington.
