NEW jobs will be created in Ferrybridge with the creation of a new £3 million engineering project.

Multi-Tech Engineering (UK) Ltd, which is based in Featherstone, is creating jobs for trainee engineers and is relocating to bigger, purpose-built premises with more sophisticated technology in Ferrybridge, as part of a £3 million investment.

The new plant will include a 50-tonne overhead crane and modern machining centres, in a 34,500 square foot workshop and office building, treble the size of the company’s current facility, and will see staff increase from 22 to 40 in the next three years.
