Major manufacturer Legrand mulls Northumberland expansion which could create scores of skilled jobs
A major manufacturer is exploring options for expansion into the North East in moves which could create scores of new skilled jobs.
Legrand already has six bases in the UK, including its Birmingham headquarters and sites in Wembley, Scarborough and Consett, but planning documents show that the company is looking for a new base set closer to the offshore renewable energy sector.
The company, part of the global French-owned Legrand group which turned over €2.03bn in the first quarter of this year, is an electrical and digital infrastructure with its 800 UK employees working across four business units including cable management, critical power, digital infrastructures, and working and living spaces.
