Council helps another local business expand

Published: Thursday 04th February 2016 | 3.47pm

RSD Pressing Ltd (formerly C& H Howe) have successfully relocated to a new larger facility at Watling Street Cannock with help from the Council.

RSD Pressing Ltd, presswork and projection welding engineers are an important long established business in the District and have moved from existing rented premises of 2100 sq.m to significantly larger purpose built freehold accommodation of 3000 sq.m.

The company have made a significant financial investment in the relocation and now has plenty of space to grow and expand, as well as looking at creating an additional 10 jobs.

The Council helped by giving them discretionary business rate relief, which supports business growth and inward investment and is funded by Cannock Chase Council. The support is aimed at helping businesses in the District to grow and expand.

Councillor Gordon Alcott, Economic Development and Planning Portfolio Leader said “RSD Pressings Ltd have received support for their expansion which has created extra capacity to produce additional work at their new premises in Cannock and create 10 new jobs.  This is a great example of what the support can do for local businesses.”

Robin Burton, Managing Director of RSD Pressings Limited said “The funding we received from the Council has allowed us to expand and relocate. Our expansion has been accelerated as a direct result of this fantastic programme run by Cannock Chase Council. The application process was quick and easy and the support we received from the Economic Regeneration Team was excellent.”

New grant programmes will be available during 2016, if you are a small to medium sized business located in the Cannock Chase District and would like more details, please contact the Economic Development Team at Cannock Chase Council on 01543 464272.
