A NORTH Yorkshire business is planning to create more jobs this year after achieving impressive growth.

The Economy Radiator Company, which supplies electric radiators, has doubled sales since it was founded in 2008.

In the year ending March 2011, it recorded sales of £2.5 million, and expects to increase this to £4 million by the end of March 2012.

Michael Wood, managing director, said his next milestone for the business was to increase sales to £9 million by the end of March 2013.

The business, based at Sessay, near Thirsk, has already taken on two members of staff this year bringing the total number of employees to seven.

The company will be on a recruitment drive this summer to build up the team, developing a new weekend team, ready for the busiest part of the year and for the launch of a new product.
