The move comes after the 42-strong firm saw its revenue more than double between 2018 and 2020 from £1.1 million to £2.6 million.

Steve Morris, managing director of Legionella and Fire Safe Services, said: "It has been a remarkable journey. The success of the company is down to each and every one of the people in this building."

Ahead of the grand opening, Sir Trevor told staff: "It is great to be in the company of people who are doing well. All the stories I seem to hear are about people who are struggling, have gone under or have found it extremely difficult throughout this period.
