A COMPANY which make giant 3D logos for major sports events is expanding its workforce.

Linemark UK Ltd, a leading supplier in line-marking paints and machinery to global organisations, has featured art at the World Cup, Wembley cup final and Manchester United matches. 

Clients have also included Premier League football sides, rugby league's Super League and rugby union's national stadiums in England, Scotland and Wales, Twickenham, Murrayfield and the Millennium Stadium.

Now after 12 months of steady growth, they have moved from Haslingden, to premises at the Riverside Estate in Townsend Fold in Rawtenstall, which are three times bigger.
The move will accommodate six new members of staff.

Director Tony Holt said the premises are perfect and found them thanks to construction developers B&E Boys.

He said: "This 25,000 sq ft unit is absolutely perfect for us.
It has a mezzanine floor which provides a separate space away from our main business operations in which we can lay out the giant templates for the 3D effect logos.

"If the logos are made for football or cricket matches then we make them from mesh metal but if the logos are to be used on fields - such as rugby matches, we have special grass paint which we use for that.

"The new premises are three times as big so they are great for us.

"Boys are a tremendous company to work with and have been very supportive. They have a practical approach and they genuinely want other Rossendale companies to do well." 

Peter Boys, a director for B&E Boys, said: "It's great to be able to accommodate a niche Rossendale business such as Linemark at Riverside Business Park.
"We hope we can play a long term part in Line-mark's plans by accommodating their future growth."

The business also supplies local authorities with linemarking for schools, playgrounds and car parks and vehicle signage.
