Forj jing ahead with a new online brand

-

A County Durham metalwork firm has set out ambitious expansion plans.

Family-run architectu­ral metalwork company Steelcraft Ltd’s new online brand, Forjj, will be able to supply products manufactur­ed at its Chester-le-Street site throughout the UK and Europe.

The move is expected to increase turnover by five per cent in the first year, equivalent to about £90,000.

Managing Director Matthew Rodgers said: “It’s great for us to have found a way to sell outside of North East England without needing to establish a physical office in another region.

“This means future expansion of our manufactur­ing operations can stay in the North East and provide more jobs and supplier opportunit­ies in the region.”
