Crawley Civic Hall, The Boulevard, RH101UZ, Friday 27th September 2013
Vent-Axia, the UK’s leading ventilation company, is delighted to be sponsoring the Crawley Jobs Fair, which will be held by Henry Smith MP, on Friday 27th September 2013 at Crawley Civic Hall. As well as being key sponsors at the event, Vent-Axia will also have its own stand, showcasing the award-winning company, in the hope of attracting the many job seekers who will be attending seeking career and training advice.
Vent-Axia’s prominent involvement in the Crawley Job Fair emphasises the company’s continuing commitment to investing in the town. The beginning of the year saw Vent-Axia give the local economy and community a boost with the launch of the new production assembly lines at its Crawley site, creating 20 new jobs in a tough economic climate. As well as funding building works to incorporate the increased manufacturing, the company has spent over £350k in tooling for the new production lines.
Vent-Axia’s CEO, Ronnie George, knows how vital his company’s support is to Crawley’s local community:
“We are delighted to be sponsoring this year’s jobs fair in Crawley, a town whose community we are proud to be supporting and investing in. At Vent-Axia we are committed to producing high quality innovative products and lowering carbon emissions, British manufacturing enables us to deliver this for our customers. We hope that the jobs fair will encourage and inspire our future engineers and product designers.”
Speaking ahead of the event, MP for Crawley, Henry Smith said:
“Thanks to local firms such as Vent-Axia which recently expanded its manufacturing plant facility, repatriating jobs back to our town, Crawley is an economically vibrant area and, with unemployment at just under three per cent, is relatively better placed than many other parts of the country and world.
“I’m grateful to Vent-Axia for its commitment to our town, investing in local prosperity and job creation, in spite of a challenging economic climate. As one of the key sponsors behind the Crawley Jobs Fair, I’m especially delighted by Vent-Axia’s proactive engagement with the local community and its commitment to supporting our town’s young people through training and careers advice.”
Vent-Axia employs 225 staff at its headquarters in Fleming Way, Crawley, West Sussex. The addition of 20 new production staff at its Sussex site has been a welcome boost to the local job market.
As well investing in the local economy Vent-Axia’s commitment to British manufacturing has seen the company further investing in UK logistics which has helped lower the embodied energy of products by reducing carbon emissions. A reduction in international shipping and flights has had a remarkable result - saving 15 Tonnes of CO² a year.
Headquartered in Crawley, West Sussex and with more than 75 years as an influential industry leader, Vent-Axia continues to set the standard in controlling the flow of fresh air, its temperature, humidity and cleanliness.
