Mr Aldous said:
“It is very good news that SLP have won this exciting contract. The energy sector offers considerable potential to create new jobs in Lowestoft, both in oil and gas and the renewable sectors. I look forward to working with SLP and other businesses to build on their good work, so that more jobs can be brought to the Waveney area.”
Paul Thomson, SLP’s MD, said that the multi million pound contract was won against UK and International competition.
