I was delighted to visit the Sangamo factory in Port Glasgow this morning along with my Labour colleagues Duncan McNeil MSP and Iain McKenzie MP, and a number of other invited guests, for the formal launch of the company's new website.
We heard from Managing Director Mark Robinson on how the company has developed over the last few years and their plans for future growth through a new product range. I was pleased to hear that they have received invaluable support from Scottish Enterprise in developing their new business strategy.
Sangamo currently employ 20 people - 18 of whom live in Inverclyde. They are keen to take on more staff over the next few years as the business grows. I was particularly pleased that Mark indicated a willingness to work with the Council, Job Centre Plus and other agencies to create apprenticeship and employment experience placements for local people.
The new website address is www.sangamo.co.uk
It contains a lot of tips on how to save energy, so is well worth a visit.
