Established in 1976, Solomon currently employs over 350 people and designs and manufactures refrigerated vehicles working with independent businesses to PLCs, dot-com enterprises and retailers.
The business produces approximately 3,500 vehicles a year from its seven operating departments in Rossendale, Darwen and Bacup, which equates to 240,000 sq. ft of production facilities.
The boost in job numbers has been prompted by a series of contract wins for high-profile retailers and increased demand for vehicles needed for businesses that have expanded home delivery services.
Anthony Clegg, sales director, said: “Over the past two years we have been planning for, and achieving, sustainable growth, and combined with several contract wins complemented by repeat business, we’re in a fantastic position to expand our workforce. Demand for our quality vehicles remains high because we’re driven by a partnership approach with our clients, which is underpinned by our commitment to innovation. In addition, we’re investing in the business, and we now need more people to join us.”
