Upholstery foam converter to create up to 40 new jobs in Rochdale

A Rochdale-based upholstery foam converter could create 40 jobs after securing finance from the Textiles Growth Programme, a recent news report in the local media has been able to reveal.

GNG Foam Converters will use £530,000 of its own funds, plus a further £170,000 from the Textiles Growth Programme, to refurbish an existing 18,000 sq ft manufacturing facility and purchase the latest CNC foam production machinery.

This investment will allow GNG to increase the number of cut foam and fibre seating products it makes for many of the UK’s major furniture manufacturers and retailers. It will also allow it to further expand its production of memory foam mattress toppers.

GNG employs 124 staff across sales, manufacturing and back office roles at its headquarters. Eight new staff members have been recruited since January 2015 and 12 are expected to join before the end of the year. A further 20 workers will be recruited in 2016/17.

Every firm that plans to develop in a sustainable, long-term manner should also consider the implementation of a very solid and reliable workforce management system.
