Sealant firm SD creating 50 jobs

Sealant and cosmetic repair venture SD is creating 50 new jobs.

The Caldicot-based company, which provides sealant application and cosmetic repairs for homeowners, housebuilders and commercial businesses, saw continuous growth prior to the pandemic.  And now it is looking to expand its workforce after successfully weathering the storm for the past six months.

The recruitment drive comes as SD relaunches its full range of services, from marine and cruise repairs to providing the finish for new build developments.

Nick Jones, managing director at SD said: “This has been a really tough time for everybody in our industry, between construction projects halting and many workers being furloughed or having lost jobs over the past six months.

"We’ve been very lucky to have seen through the pandemic   unscathed and being in such a fortunate position, we want to offer as many hard-working, skilled people as possible the chance to get back to work.

"I’m thrilled that we’re in a position to be able to grow our team again, especially in such difficult times, and we really look forward to welcoming some new faces this year who can help us as we start back on our trajectory of growth.” 

The SD team have been involved in a number of major construction projects in the UK, including five of the emergency NHS hospitals that were erected in response to the rise in coronavirus cases this year.

They have also seen particular growth in the North of England, with recent projects including Liverpool FC’s training ground, Lincoln Cathedral and the Dewsbury and District Hospital, Yorkshire.

In the financial year 2019-20, SD turned over more than £1million in what was a record-breaking 12 months for the firm.
