Graphic fitment company Leading Edge has doubled its team and increased turnover 133%.

The company received a Regional Growth Fund boost enabling the purchase of a state-of-the-art printer, new fabrication equipment and a five-vehicle addition to its installation fleet, bringing a total investment of £200,000 in the last six months.

New roles created in 2015 include fabricators, drivers, printers and fitters.

With clients including McDonalds, Card Factory, Soreen and tyre service ATS, the new resources and expanded team has brought Leading Edge its widest ever national client base.

Managing director Matthew Evans said: “From our West Yorkshire base, we are now independently delivering on contracts across the whole of the UK, including Northern Ireland.

“Our new super-wide printer produces graphics up to 3.2 metres wide and has a dual print facility which means we can produce more high impact, high quality artwork, faster than ever before.

“ Our new facilities gives us greater flexibility and speed to meet these deadlines with our biggest ever team to fulfil on delivery and fitting.”

He added: “Our investment in new equipment continues our policy of keeping our services in house which continues full autonomy on every client project. It opens up new ways we can create vibrant and creative artwork for our clients and is helping us win previously out of reach contracts on a national scale.”
