In order to help with the challenges we are facing in the construction industry and to increase production, we have doubled our laboratory capacity.

We are aiming to recruit trainee concrete technicians to create new and improved existing admixtures, which change the properties of concrete, meeting a range of construction needs.

The expanded laboratory now includes two mixing bays, a separate area for wet production and a clean area for creating 'new to the world' products.

The Oscrete team also plans to use its increased space for onsite customer training.

Dean Clarke, our Technical and Development Manager said:

"Expanding our lab is key for the growrth of our business and the increased capacity and ability for the product innovation means we're also creating local jobs - roles which will expand our team of technicians who make the business-critical, concrete alchemy happen.

"Our concrete lab really is the nerve centre of our business - the place where mixing, trialling, sampling and experimenting on behalf of our customers brings their product and construction goals and visions to life.

"Since our relaunch in January, we now have more space to do the work we excel at - and with new team members soon to come on board, we're even further along the path to becoming the UK and Ireland's leading supplier of admixture and additive products."
