A huge £200,000 investment by Saville Audio Visual of York has taken shape, generating extra space and jobs.

It involves an extra 10,000 sq ft of warehouse space at York Business Park for the growing conference and hire business of the £33 million turnover firm.

The new building frees up parts of the company's HQ in nearby Millfield Lane, Poppleton, to extend its video-conferencing showroom where it can demonstrate how the company keeps in visual contact with all 15 of its regional centres, based in every major city in Britain.

It has also made room for a new advertising and marketing department at Millfield Lane, where nine staff have been employed, four of them in telesales.
