Hoyle and Lynch were taken on a tour of both Scorpion’s HQ and new production sites to learn how the business functioned and to see first-hand its pioneering technologies and the different types of work undertaken. The tour routed through the HQ based departments of sales and marketing, research and development, harness production, warehouse, technical and 24/7 theft monitoring.
Located a few hundred yards along the same road, the tour continued into the company’s new multi-million pound state-of-the-art production site housing its new surface mount technology (SMT), printed circuit board (PCB) production line and a recently expanded team of highly skilled production operatives.
The tour was followed by a short presentation from managing director Mark Downing and head of marketing and sales operations Carl James.
Hoyle said: “Scorpion’s decision to develop a new manufacturing plant here in Chorley is a real boost for our area and it is re-enforces the fact that the North West is open for business. The region – and indeed Chorley – has a proud record on manufacturing.
“Companies realise that Chorley is great place to live, work and play. We’re ideally located on the motorway and rail network as a City Gateway with a great work force. Lancashire offers huge benefits without the drawbacks and costs of operating in a large city or in the South of England.” and costs of operating in a large city or in the South of England.”
