The new posts will mean a 20 per cent increase in the company’s workforce since it made the move to the city.

Managing director Gary Bulley said:“This has been an extremely rewarding year for Bullwell Trailer Solutions and it cannot go unrecognised that this increase in turnover coincides with our move to Lichfield. Being located within the central hub of the UK’s transport system, with excellent links to the M42, M5 and M6, is essential to a business like ours, especially since our mobile maintenance and repair service is experiencing a period of sustained growth and high demand.

“With the company growing as it is, we are now launching a recruitment programme for ten mobile engineers and ideally, we would like to recruit from the local area. Looking forward, it is imperative that we invest in the company’s future, both with highly trained staff and capital investments into new installations on site and improved equipment for our mobile engineers.”

Following a recent investment of £173,000 for an on-site authorised testing facility (ATF), Bullwell is continuing to move forward by investing a further £980,000 into new vans and equipment.

“It is an exciting time for Bullwell and I know that we all have high hopes for future expansion in our second and third years based in Lichfield,” Gary added.

With a number of new contracts in the pipeline, the company is looking to expand its bluechip client base which currently includes DHL, Royal Mail, TK Maxx and UK Mail.
