Stockport based UK Point of Sale, a designer and manufacturer of point of sale display products, is to invest £4.5m in a new head office, manufacturing site and showroom across the town from Heaton Mersey to Bredbury Industrial Park.
The family owned business is looking to create more than 20 new jobs increasing its workforce to 72 within the 47,000 sq ft facility when it moves in February.
With current sales of around £8m, UK POS are hoping to grow to beyond £10m. Launched 24 years ago by Managing Director Jason Leslie and his father Bill, the future is looking bright as Jason said:
“We have seen steady growth over the past five years,
despite the recession, and have outgrown our current two
sites in Heaton Mersey.
“We have significantly expanded our client base in the UK
and overseas during the past two years and international
orders now account for ten per cent of our sales – which
we aim to grow even further. We are also striving to
increase our online sales from 19% to more than 30% of
our total sales over the next 12 months.
“We are recruiting for a number of roles across sales, warehousing and distribution as part of this development and we are looking forward to continuing to grow our business in our home town of Stockport.”
