A COMPANY based in Winnington has left the area and moved to Runcorn where it hopes to expand and create more new jobs.

Projen, which has outgrown its premises in Winnington Road, says its new home in Priory Court, Preston Brook is 50 per cent bigger and provides plenty of space to grow.

Martin Seabrook, managing director, said: “Projen is extremely pleased to announce this move.

“We always knew a time would come when we needed to relocate but the growth in staff numbers of recent years has brought this decision forward.

“The size, design and overall appearance of the new offices will complement more closely the vision of Projen as we strive to reach our company goals in years to come.”

Project, a multi-disciplined project management company, was established 30 years ago.

Its blue chip clients include Airbus, Nestle and Coca Cola.

The company provides a professional engineering service with specialists in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, chemical and process, food and drink manufacturing, water and waste treatment, energy and environment.

The firm hopes to increase staff numbers to 120 in the coming years.
