Essex-based Romex Productions has made a multi-thousand pound investment in a new site.

Managing director Derek Harris said the acquisition, which is off Morbec Lodge, Arterial Road, Wickford, Essex, is part of the company’s expansion in the UK.

The company has retained its premises at South Benfleet, but the acquisition of the new two acre site will enable it to expand and display its range of timber garden products including sheds, fencing and decking.

Mr Harris said Romex’ plywood, veneer, timber and furniture components will be handled in the same way as before.

“We intend to start having outlets throughout the UK, but instead of doing it ourselves we may do it through some of our clients”, he added.
