New jobs in frame as window maker grows

A Cannock windows business is creating a dozen new jobs after securing bank backing to expand its retail stores arm.

Rapid Frame makes PVC-U windows and has enjoyed significant growth in the 14 years since it was launched, expanding to employ 48 people.

Part of this has been through developing its own Formula One range and opening a showroom in Donnington, Telford.

Now it has announced plans to expand the operation with a new showroom in Shrewsbury after securing financial backing from NatWest Commercial Banking and RBS Invoice Financing.

Martin Corcoran, managing director of Formula One and Rapid Frame, said: 'When we first established Formula One in Telford we knew we had the right site, in the right area, selling the right products, and we have been delighted with the way the business has taken off.
