Econ Engineering Investment in Alloa
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the news of a substantial investment in Alloa by the Yorkshire-based gritting vehicle manufacturer, Econ Engineering; notes that through its division, Econ Scotland, the business, which makes more than 80% of the winter maintenance and repair vehicles used on the UK's roads, plans to establish a £1.3 million purpose-built service hub that will service winter maintenance and road repair vehicles for local authorities and private sector highway contractors; understands that it will have an initial workforce of six specialist staff, but plans to make further new appointments over the coming months, and commends the firm and its Operations Director, Jonathan Lupton, on what it sees as the company's commitment to Scotland, which currently accounts for over 30% of its UK turnover.
