Jobs boost on the way
At least 30 jobs will be created as a Stourport company expands into Kidderminster. Some £750,000 will also be invested due to the move by the information technology firm.
The expansion plans of OGL Computer Services Group Limited will see the business go full circle as it will return to the site where it started life three decades ago.
The firm will make an initial investment of £750,000 and could also see a further 10 jobs, including sales and support posts, created later this year.
More jobs are forecast for next year and recruitment for the first 30 is set to start immediately.
OGL currently employs 150 people and, in 2006, celebrated 30 years in business, providing complete IT packages and support for company's in-house departments.
The expansion to a second site will see the company remaining at its present base in Worcester Road, Stourport, and moving back to refurbished premises in Stourport Road, Kidderminster.
The offices, on which the company has retained the lease, will include a purpose-built suite for customer demonstrations.
It will also house the company's flagship software, specially written for stockists and distributors, a training facility as well as a data centre.
Neil Morris, operations director at OGL said: "Our development programme for 2007 is a product of our continued success and a significant number of large orders this year." The company has been chosen to provide IT systems for Worcestershire County Cricket Club and has signed a £6,000 sponsorship deal. Bosses also have a deal with Aston Villa FC.
