At least 15 jobs are being created by a labelling firm.
On the same day Thamesteel, in Sheppey, collapsed into
administration with a threat to 400 jobs, CCL Label provided better
news by unveiling plans for expansion of its Foster Road, Ashford,
plant.
The specialist labelling company has been in Ashford since 1990.
It was initially part of the Inprint group that was acquired by CCL
Label in 2005.
The company makes labels and information leaflets for the
pharmaceutical, clinical trial and agrochemical markets. It employs
more than 150 staff in Ashford.
"Although we serve the UK market, 85 per cent of our output is
exported, principally into mainland Europe, which is why our
location here in Ashford, with its good transport links, is so
important," said European marketing co-ordinator Claire
Richardson.
Ashford-based Epps, one of Kent's oldest construction firms, has
won the contract to build the 1,700 sq m extension. It has started
work on the project designed by Ashford-based RDA Architects.
