A BARNSLEY construction company which created the timber frame for the cycling track at the London Olympics has expanded into bigger premises.
Constructional Timber designs, manufactures and installs engineered timber frames, beams and other fixtures for prestigious projects across the UK and abroad.
The 84,000 square feet facility, based at Carlton Industrial Estate, will mean an increase in production capacity and could take turnover from £3.5million to more than £5million.
Growth is being aided by experts from business support organisation Enterprising Barnsley.
Three news jobs have been created at the company in the last year taking the total workforce to 26.
"As well as being a much larger facility, unlike our previous site it's all under cover which means the weather will no longer be a problem for us," co-director Martin Daws said.
"It will give us the potential and scope for development that we've wanted for a while and we're extremely excited about the future of the business."
The company won the contract to supply the support structure for the London 2012 velodrome after completing similar projects in Manchester, Southampton, Newport and Taiwan. The frame comprised 356 identical timber trusses made to the blueprint created by Ron Webb, the velodrome's designer.
Constructional Timber was set up in 1979 in a small unit in Penistone and later moved to Carlton.
