ANOTHER new company is taking space on the former Macpherson's Paint works site in Radcliffe.

The Beechfield Cap Company, an importer and distributor of baseball caps, leisurewear and sports bags, is relocating from Heywood into a 30,000 sq ft unit on the Warth Industrial Estate.

But the move will not result in any new jobs for Radcliffe as the Beechfield workforce will accompany the move.

The surplus space on the site, empty since landlords Kemira Coatings Ltd closed down the paint works in 1994 with the loss of 390 jobs, is now almost full. The remaining 30,000 sq ft unit attracting strong interest according to letting agents Paul Nolan and Company, of Bury.
