An internationally-operating energy-focused Grimsby engineering firm is gearing up to build on significant recent growth.
Technica has revealed it has secured £26 million of new projects within the past 12 months, with invoicing up a staggering 172 per cent from £5.4 million to £14.7 million in the same period.
It is now looking to bolster numbers by up to 30 per cent, as it seeks to recruit skilled engineering professionals to deliver a range of large-scale multi-disciplined projects for the likes of National Grid, WSP, Centrica, SGN, J Murphy and Sons, Gassco and Northern Gas Networks.
