BLACKBURNS METALS CONTINUES TO EXPAND
Blackburns Metals, leading Aluminium and Stainless Steel stockholders are delighted to announce further expansion of their business with the relocation of their Central distribution, Sign manufacturing and Export operation to the Pensnett Estate at Kingswinford.
Managing Director Karl Weston said ‘the relocation to the Pensnett Estate gives us yet another platform for growth. We have relocated two other Blackburns Service Centres to the estate recently and both have been very successful. It is therefore a logical step to build on that success’.
