A repairs and security firm has secured £300,000 in new funding to help it expand its range of services and train staff.
Birmingham-based Butco Heating specialises in heating, electrical and security services such as installation and maintenance.
The company, which is based in Minworth, has been trading in the West Midlands for more than 60 years.
This new funding will be used to expand its offering to installation, servicing and repairs of home boilers, smoke alarms and home security systems including rewiring and repairs.
It will also use the capital to expand its training of engineers and support staff on its new products and services and boost its sales and marketing operations.
Director James Tough said: "The funds have enabled Butco to explore new opportunities with a focus on new technologies and the switch to electric heating. Butco is looking to promote these new products to its existing and new customers."
