Multihog UK, which is distributing a new range of multi-purpose vehicles, has secured a £9,000 council grant to support its relocation to Darwen.

Founded in 2010, the company has moved from the village of Hoddlesden and has purchased a workshop ramp, racking and a plant trailer. Two jobs have been created by the expansion.

The Multihog is a vehicle developed and manufactured in the Republic of Ireland that has the appearance of a tractor and can be fitted with a wide range of attachments for various uses.
