Ulster Unionist Party economy spokesperson Sandra Overend has welcomed the creation of a further 50 new jobs at Toomebridge firm SDC Trailers, following an announcement that they had won a £10 million contract to supply trailer rental company Hireco.
The Mid-Ulster MLA commented:
“The creation of another 50 posts at SDC Trailers is fantastic news. This comes on the back of 40 new jobs that were created at the firm in February, and further underlines the position of the company as one of Mid-Ulster’s major employers.
“These new positions have been generated as SDC have secured a £10 million order to supply 600 new trailers to rental company Hireco. Following expansion into the Middle Eastern market earlier this year, this order further demonstrates the firm’s ambition.
“I congratulate SDC Trailers on securing this major order. When visiting the company last year, the determination of the management and staff to push ahead and secure new business was evident, so this comes as no surprise, and is an example of one of our local firms successfully competing in a competitive industry.”
