Derbyshire firm powers on to create 70 jobs

A Derbyshire critical power specialist that provides power installations, generator maintenance packages and generators has created 70 jobs after opening nine new bases across the UK.

WB Power Services, which has its head office in Heanor, Derbyshure, an office in Ilkeston, a storage facility in Slough and depots in Barnsley and Gloucester has opened new depots in Cambridge, Middlewich and Preston and new offices in East London, Norwich, Sunderland, Manchester, Cardiff and Plymouth.

These premises will provide a hub for local engineering and sales team members.

The move comes after the firm reported a 50% hike in turnover this year.

Managing director Andy Wilmott said: “Our expansion into these areas of the United Kingdom marks a milestone moment for the growth of WB Power Services. We aim to utilise this space to facilitate an improved customer experience for both existing and new clients, improve our SLA’s and offer an office location closer to their operations. Our client’s operations are at the heart of everything we do, so we really hope they have a positive impact.”
