Preston-based James Fisher Nuclear has created 36 jobs following its move to larger premises in the Deeside Enterprise Zone.

The new 26,500ft2 facility on Deeside Industrial Park will see the business invest in digital radiography equipment and will increase efficiencies. It will also provide space for growth, as well as extra office
accommodation.

The company’s £1.5 million investment in new premises and equipment is supported by £149,200 of business finance from the Welsh Assembly government and will take the company’s head-count to 100.

Managing director Paul Read said: “This new facility adds significant space for our non-destructive testing division to support our existing customers and expand our customer base. It is also ideally positioned to support aerospace customers at Broughton and nuclear new build in Wales.” The company is already involved in the decommissioning of old nuclear plant across the UK, including a facility at Trawsfynydd.
