Kirk Sandall-based Fastline Services has secured two business grants through the assistance of the Business Doncaster team, and expects to create new jobs as a result.
The Digital Innovation grant has assisted in helping the business to develop its online presence, representing them at a much higher standard than their previous website could. The funding has also helped to build an ecommerce section which when complete will increase revenue significantly.
Receiving the Productivity grant has enabled them to purchase additional plant and specialist equipment that in turn, has led to increased productivity and the recruitment of two additional employees to the installation team. It was the perfect boost to help the business expand after facing tough times during the pandemic, and as well as the funding, the business received help and advice to help keep them on the right path.
The business was launched in 2016 as a family team of two, servicing a number of sites for Amazon as a subcontractor. The company now provides direct services to some of the UK’s market leading logistic companies, including Amazon. it has also secured a framework agreement with supermarket chains, Lidl UK.
They now have seven employees and are actively recruiting for a number of other positions to help facilitate their continued growth.
MD Adam Fletcher said: “We hope our continued embryonic growth will see the business achieve a minimum 100% financial growth. We are looking to have doubled our workforce in this time and potentially increase the operational size of our warehouse and facilities.”
Fastline Services has also gone on to sell and distribute its own range of branded safety products and recently signed a reseller agreement with ASAFE, the market leading impact protection manufacturer.
