J Stell & Sons, Keighley, is set to leave its manufacturing base of 120 years and move to new purpose-built premises after securing a £4.2 million finance package. The tube manufacturer received the funding from the HSBC bank to acquire and redevelop the former Oakworth Joinery site, which is three miles from its current base.

J Stell & Sons is a family-owned business that was formed in 1872; it will create nine jobs over the next 12 months, bringing its head count to 94.
