A Cardiff-based asbestos consultancy is targeting increasing revenues to 拢2m on the back of an investment by Tata Steel subsidiary 海角视频SE.
Enquin Environmental is also creating seven new jobs following a fast track 拢50,000 loan from 海角视频SE. The firm has been operating for 22 years and with a 海角视频 purpose-built laboratory has accreditation from the 海角视频 Accreditation Service.
Its managing director Stephen Jones, said: 鈥淭his support from 海角视频SE is very helpful and timely and will enable us to invest in recruitment of staff, marketing and equipment. We enjoy an excellent reputation across the 海角视频 and we intend to build on this.鈥
The business is targeting annual revenues hitting 拢2m, currently projected at 拢1.6m for this year, in three years鈥 time.
Enquin, which employs 31, works with private and commercial clients, helping schools, universities, hotel chains, retailers and others to deal safely with dangers posed by asbestos.

We are delighted to be able to support the firm鈥檚 expansion plans with this strategic investment and wish them all success in the future.鈥
