Ultraframe has announced plans to expand its workforce and cited “ exciting new opportunities ” as the driver , along with the post-lockdown boom that shows no signs of slowing down . The Clitheroe based company is also expanding its operations , with the addition of a 60,000 sq ft facility close by to its 350,000 sq ft Ribble Valley HQ .

Ultraframe Operations Director , Andy Crowe , said : “ As an employer of choice in the Ribble Valley , we offer many benefits to job seekers and our existing loyal staff , and of course , we offer this same stability and security to our customers . We ’ ve been engineering and manufacturing roofing systems from our Clitheroe factory for over 35 years and there are already over two million Ultraframe roofs on homes across the UK . Over the coming years , that

number is set to rise greatly . There are many opportunities in the marketplace right now and we believe that Ultraframe customers are best placed to prosper and build strong , sustainable business for the future .”

Ultraframe was founded in 1983 by Clitheroe businessman John Lancaster who revolutionised the conservatory sector with the development of the first conservatory roof system . Since then , the company has continued to be driven by innovation and has designed many products that have changed the way that homes are extended , always with the focus on natural light . Many of its systems and products have been recognised with national awards and certification from independent bodies such as the BBA and LABC .
