“We anticipate longer term and consistent investment as we transition to a Carbon Neutral society and the demand for new housing stock and refurbished properties to deliver those standards. Kilwaughter intend to be at the forefront of these markets, leading the industry with highest quality, first class solutions and positive customer experiences.”

Commenting on the recent announcement, Graham Whitehurst, Chair of the Manufacturing Task Force commented: “Kilwaughter are a key employer in Mid & East Antrim and a vital partner in the Manufacturing Task Force. I am delighted to see their continued commitment to Larne through this investment in the state of the art Business Centre. As soon as the situation returns to normal I look forward to visiting as we continue to work with this dynamic, innovative company.”
