Timber supplier A&J Scott Ltd is recruiting for up to 15 staff this spring and summer, with a further 10 jobs expected to be created in the next two years.
The move follows sustained growth for the 180-strong Northumberland sawmill business which saw turnover increase 21.6% to £45m and operating profit increase 135.4% to £9.8m in 2021 on the back of £25m investment in equipment over the last decade.
New roles created cover a range of the family-owned firm's production activities including timber processing and machine operation and driving forklifts, timber handling vehicles and lorries. Site maintenance and management staff, including mechanical and electrical engineers, will also be appointed.
