A RECRUITMENT drive is underway at a fabric firm which has already doubled in size in the past three years.

J B Broadley of Rawtenstall is looking for 20 people following a £1.5 million investment in new machinery at its factory. The firm specialises in fabric coating for customers including sports wear firms and airbag manufacturers.

"The substantial growth during the last three years has meant that employment is secured for existing employees and prompted a recruitment drive," said Alan Pilkington, managing director.
