Cochran turnover has grown by 25% and employed five more Apprentices

Cochran's turnover has grown by around 25% over the last year and they have already secured more boiler orders in 2011 than all of last year.  This has seen our Annan based tradesmen sometimes working extra hours to help complete orders. 

Most significantly, at a time of high youth unemployment, the company recruited four apprentices last year and this month a further five started work.  Cochran are not complacent about future prospects and say the market continues to be highly competitive. 

David Branch, Head of Sales said: "Government spending cuts have seen a fall off in public sector projects and we are not seeing significant private sector investment in UK capital projects.  "This is bound to have an impact in the coming months. "Times remain challenging but Cochran looks forward to the future with renewed confidence."
