A Spen Valley company has opened a new office in Scotland, creating eight jobs.

Leading Edge Signage and Graphics, which designs and produces signage and display graphics for the retail industry, has a new office in Livingston.

It will be the second manufacturing location in the UK for Leading Edge, based in Gomersal, whose clients include McDonald’s, Card Factory, Bet Fred and Kwik Fit.

Founder and managing director Matthew Evans has grown the company’s staff base to 65 since 2008.

“We are now independently delivering on contracts across the whole of the UK, including Northern Ireland,” he said.

“Our new facility in Livingston gives us greater flexibility to meet these demanding deadlines with our growing team able to fulfil on delivery and fitting.

“Continued investment in new equipment continues our policy of keeping our services in-house, which ensures full autonomy on every project and is helping us consistently win national contracts.”
