CVS also plans to create around 15 new jobs at the site over the next 12-18 months, which will include two new positions within its apprenticeship programme.

Phil Hendry, Control Valve Solutions’ Scottish Enterprise account manager, said: “We’ve worked with CVS for a number of years to support its growth ambitions. As part of this support, we awarded a Regional Selective Assistance grant of £375,000 as a contribution towards the company’s investment plans that will allow it to operate more efficiently by increasing capacity and boosting its client service offering, leading to new jobs in Aberdeen.”
