AN engineering business is creating 21 jobs as it launches to provide work for the offshore engineering industry.

Middlesbrough-based Teesside Precision Engineering Ltd will take over the headquarters and some assets of Campbell Machine Company which went into liquidation in April last year after it lost some key customers.

The business has been established by three investors, David Dean, Roger Metcalfe and Russell Coates, who all have extensive experience within engineering covering many industry sectors. They have landed a £95,000 grant from regional development agency One North East to build up the business on Skippers Lane Industrial Estate.

Teesside Precision Engineering director David Dean said: “This is an excellent opportunity to utilise the highly skilled workforce that exists within the Tees Valley area.
