The Mayor of Barnsley, Councillor John Clarke JP, visited Anderson Power Generation earlier this week to learn more about how the business operates following their successful relocation to the borough and the completion of Business Productivity and Low Carbon grants.
The business purchased a unit at the Goldthorpe Industrial Estate, which represents a 70% increase in floorspace from their previous home in Beverley, East Yorkshire, and was supported with investment in the installation of a mezzanine floor, creation of an additional new office to support collaborative workspaces, enhancements to factory doors due to the size of products they will making and installing, together with the installation of solar panels with the support of Enterprising Barnsley.
Established in 2019, Anderson Power Generation has rapidly grown from strength to strength, working with clients across the UK and Europe providing innovative electrical and sustainable renewable solutions for a range of different businesses and clients.
The opening of the new factory marks a significant milestone in their expansion that will help to support an increase in their in-house research and development testing, design and manufacturing capabilities, and help springboard their continual market share increase into the green energy and net zero supply chain throughout the UK and overseas.
Councillor Robin Franklin, Cabinet spokesperson for Regeneration and Culture, said: "This is yet another example of a high growth business not only choosing Barnsley as location, but thriving in Barnsley with support from our award-winning Enterprising Barnsley team, and we're incredibly proud to have played a small part in helping them on their way.
