SCH ’ s new £ 500k factory
A secondary steelwork firm has moved into its new £ 500,000 premises in the region . SCH Site Services has just moved into its new factory on Aycliffe Business Park . The firm works alongside Finley Structures , focusing on structural steel installation and secondary steelwork packages , as well as working for other external clients . The new site , adjacent to the Finley site in Aycliffe , is a £ 500,000 investment which created 10 new jobs and boosted SCH ’ s workforce to 31 . Construction manager Andy Braid , pictured ( centre ) with contract managers Andy Davies ( left ) and Steve Rowley ( Right ), said : “ We have developed the secondary steel work side of our operations in recent months and this new site is a natural progression for SCH . “ It makes sense to segregate the secondary steel work into the new premises in order to maintain our specialised workforce in the separate areas of the business . “ Our range of secondary steelwork includes barriers , bollards , flooring , handrails , railings and staircases , while we also supply and install balustrades and canopies .”
