50 Jobs Created By Antrim Trailer Firm
50 jobs are expected to be created by Toomebridge firm SDC Trailers following a £10m order from trailer rental company, Hireco Ltd.
The new contract will see trailers manufactured across SDC's engineering facilities at Toomebridge in County Antrim and Mansfield in England over the next six months.
The company has created 170 new posts in the last year and is expected to increase its turnover to £150m by the end of 2015.
SDLP Mid Ulster MLA Patsy McGlone said: "This is welcome news for SDC Trailers and for the local economy. SDC is clearly a successful company creating much needed jobs.
"This new contract, which extends their relationship with Hireco, should help secure those jobs. This is a vote of confidence in everyone involved with the company, from workforce to management."
Ulster Unionist Party economy spokesperson Sandra Overend said: "The creation of another 50 posts at SDC Trailers is fantastic news. This comes on the back of 40 new jobs that were created at the firm in February, and further underlines the position of the company as one of Mid-Ulster’s major employers.
"I congratulate SDC Trailers on securing this major order. When visiting the company last year, the determination of the management and staff to push ahead and secure new business was evident, so this comes as no surprise, and is an example of one of our local firms successfully competing in a competitive industry."
