John Hutchings, chairman of Hutchings, added: “From the start of this project we committed to ensuring that the main consultants, engineers and contractors involved in its construction would be Swansea-based, ensuring that the whole investment would feed into the local economy.

“Future-proofing the facilities in the new premises was also a major priority, allowing for sufficient additional internal and external expansion space.
