A Derbyshire roofing products firm has announced plans to take on more staff as part of its ongoing expansion plans.

Permaroof 海角视频, which has its head office in Alfreton, is one of the largest importers and distributors of Firestone RubberCover roofing products and single ply EPDM rubber roofing systems.

It also made its first acquisition, adding skylight and rooflight supplier The Skylight Company to its ranks.

Now, Permaroof 海角视频, which currently employs more than 32 people across the country, is looking to add to its sales team.
