STAFF at an East Lancashire company are celebrating after being given a £1million windfall.
Workers at Azzurri Communications have received between £300 and £20,000 each as part of the firm's employee share trust scheme after the company was sold to PPM Capital for £182.5million. And staff at the Burnley-based firm will be hoping the company is sold again after bosses set up a new trust share scheme.
Azzurri's chief operating officer Steve Dolton and chief executive Martin St Quinton visited staff at the firm's northern headquarters in the town, which also employs people from Hyndburn and Blackburn, to personally thank them for their hard work.
Mr St Quinton said: "This is a great way to say thank you to all of our staff for their hard work."
Before the sale workers were given a number of shares based on length of service and individual performance as part of the scheme, which determined how big their payout was.
