Hitchin’s Member of Parliament Bim Afolami MP has been discussing local investment and job creation, following his visit to Euraqua in Bury Mead Road.
Euraqua – a water treatment equipment company – opened their new purpose built £3m facility in Hitchin in February this year, with Mr Afolami attending at the time to cut the ribbon on the factory. Now just under six months on, the MP visited the business to find out how they have been getting on.
Bim Afolami MP said,
“Attracting new jobs and investment to Hitchin is a top priority. Euraqua’s £3m investment in our town with this new facility was a welcome boost to our local economy – and I was delighted to pay them a visit to see how they have been settling in to their new factory on Bury Mead Road. We had a productive discussion about doing business in Hitchin and how we can keep our town as an attractive place to invest.
“I will continue to work with local businesses and interested parties to create new jobs and bring new investment to our town.”
Alastair Morlidge, General Manager, Euraqua UK said,
“We discussed our common goal to grow local opportunities for training and careers in the engineering sector and are looking forward to expanding our workforce in our new, larger and more efficient purpose-built premises.”
