A RESIN firm is creating new jobs in an expansion move. Dupox, which manufactures products for coating walls and floors, has relocated from Church to the Furthergate Industrial Park in Blackburn.

The move to larger premises has seen two new members of staff taken on bringing the workforce up to 13.

Roger Gundry, chairman of the Southern-based Industrial Maintenance Group of which Dupox is part, performed the official opening ceremony.

"The new premises are much bigger and provide a far better working environment for staff," said general manager Elaine Pickup.
