Wirral conveyor manufacturer Sovex has launched a recruitment drive as it bids to grow turnover to the £10m mark.
The company specialises in the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of conveyor systems. A series of contract wins has resulted in the business being on course to boost its turnover by 25 per cent from £8m in the current financial year.
Sovex, which was formed ten years ago, has also launched a recruitment drive for additional service engineers in London, Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds to cope with increased demand from the new orders.
The business currently employs 73 staff including electrical engineers, welders, fitters and fabricators at its headquarters in Prenton, plus 30 service engineers around theUK.
David Lindfield, Sovex managing director, said: "A tenth anniversary is an important landmark for any business - and it's fantastic to be making good profits, employing more staff and achieving rapid growth at this point in our evolution.
"Put simply, we've bucked the recession because we have great products and we love engineering our way out of a problem for our customers. The blue chip clients we work for and our full and record-breaking order book means that we are looking forward to the next ten years with confidence."
