Nottinghamshire-based A1 Flue Systems (www.a1flues.co.uk) has recruited new people in different areas of the business to meet strong demand for its commercial and industrial chimneys.

The company, which employs 145 people, designs and manufactures flue and exhaust systems at its 54,000ft² factory in Ollerton, and has a healthy order book of projects — including two that are about to be signed for a combined total value of more than £5 million.

A spokesperson said: “Our order book remains strong, because we excel at securing ‘bread and butter’ contracts for schools, hospitals, hotels and office blocks around the UK and in Ireland — which is why we need to ensure that we have the right people in the right places.

“Our guiding principles of excellence, pride, passion and precision set us apart as the UK market leader in the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of commercial and industrial chimney, flue and exhaust systems.”
