Andrew Selous said:
“The success in bringing down unemployment locally is purely because of the hard work and enterprise of the owners and employees of businesses like Satco Plastics Limited. Satco Plastics has recently featured in the London Stock Exchange’s flagship group of 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain 2018 and I pay a tribute to all the employers locally like Satco Plastics Limited who have made this happen.”
