These significant orders mark a real step forward in our plans for growth and are exciting not only for all of the team at Ridgway but also to all those in our supply chain. This is a real boost for the local community and the East Midlands in general. Our customers are global and the new orders represent the first of many as we support their strategic expansion over four continents. We are planning to relocate to larger premises to meet this continuing demand for our specialist expertise”.
