A Mid Ulster-based paving manufacturer is to invest £30million and create 95 jobs in ambitious plans to rapidly grow its business over the next four years.
The investment will help Tobermore meet the growing demand for its products throughout the UK and Ireland, whilst also creating valuable skilled employment opportunities in the Mid Ulster District Council area.
The jobs, to be created over the next three years, will generate almost £2.5million in additional annual salaries and include sales, operations and production roles.
Making the announcement, the Economy Minister, Diane Dodds said: “During such challenging times for companies across Northern Ireland, I would like to congratulate Tobermore on this major announcement. It is investments like this which will drive our economic recovery forward.”
David Henderson, Managing Director of Tobermore, said: “We have experienced extensive growth in recent years due to our exceptional product offering combined with our high levels of customer service, and in return have developed new products to meet the needs of our loyal customer base.
“This investment will put us in a unique position to exploit multiple markets in the coming years, with UK and Ireland our main priority markets. We are excited by the next stage of our growth plans, which requires the major expansion of our current facilities and significant investment in recruitment and marketing.
“We are delighted to have received the support of Invest NI as we move forward with our expansion plans.”
