BUSINESS equipment specialist F H Brown has posted record sales of more than £5 million in the first three months since a management buy-out in August.

The Burnley-based firm's buoyant trading situation helped create six new jobs within the company's administration and e-commerce departments, with more to come.

Managing director, Ian Kelly, said: "It is fantastic news for the management team and staff who had the confidence to make the buy-out happen."
