Family-run company to open huge new base in Stoke-on-Trent
A family-run company has been granted permission to open a huge new base in Stoke-on-Trent.
A planning application submitted back in March revealed at SFD Group was seeking permission to open inside a brand-new industrial warehouse off James Brindley Way.
Founded in 2016, the business produces top-rated fire doors for industry and public sector clients, including the NHS.
The planning application was for the erection of two flag poles, four new externally illuminated company logo signs and a new external dust extraction unit.
These plans were given the green light by the council on 5 July and an Officer's Report states: "It is considered that the principle of development can be supported and that the scheme would deliver sustainable development with economic benefits within the Ceramic Valley Enterprise Zone.
"Technical documents in support of the scheme illustrate that the scheme can be accommodated without any significant detrimental impact upon nearby sensitive residential receptors subject to noise mitigation measures."
The new business will be open 6am-5pm Monday to Friday and 6am-12pm on Saturday and will create 38 full-time jobs.
There are already 45 car parking spaces, six cycle spaces and two disability spaces on the site.
