A FORMER double glazing factory is to become part of a fast-expanding e-cigarette company.

SG Aluminium's 25,000 sq ft unit at Shadsworth Business Park has been snapped up by  the GM Group, which owns Vape Dinner Lady.

The Lancashire Telegraph reported in March that the firm, based on Sett End Rd West, fabricator and installer of architectural aluminium windows, doors, curtain walling and shop fronts, axed 33 jobs after it went into administration.

But the site is to become part of Vape Dinner Lady owner Mo Patel's empire, after building plush new offices in GM House at Shadsworth.

A spokesman for the firm said plans for the new premises are still under discussion and details are being finalised but that the expansions would certainly result in new jobs for the area.

The multi-award winning company has had a remarkable two years as it exports to more than 70 countries, with a turnover of around £18million.
