RUSSELL Roof Tiles has launched a recruitment drive to fill new roles at its Lochmaben site.

Due to expansion, the roof tile manufacturer has vacancies for positions including production operatives and a mechanical maintenance engineer.

The business revealed it has seen an increase in demand this year for its concrete roof tiles and accessories, which it supplies for private, social housing, and commercial projects.

Last year, Russell Roof Tile invested £750,000 in upgrades at the Lochmaben plant. This work was designed to improved efficiencies and speed up manufacturing and included a new, more-insulated curing chamber with an improved heating system. This follows a £2.5 million investment in 2022.

Bruce Laidlaw, operations director at Russell Roof Tiles, said, “This year has been monumental and following strong performance we are pleased to be able to offer several new career opportunities to join at an exciting time of growth.”
