The new 240-square-metre unit at the Port of Blyth is our second base and the main headquarters for JK Industrial Services. Alongside our main lifting, testing and inspection services the new industrial arm will be a one-stop shop for businesses within the Port and visiting vessels. The unit will offer everything to fulfil our offshore and marine needs from lifting gear and PPE to small tool sales and hire.
Commenting on joining the Port of Blyth, our managing director James Bright, said: “I invested in the business because I saw the potential and an opportunity to grow what John developed over nearly four decades. Opening a second base at Port of Blyth is part of the company’s growth trajectory and I am proud to have realised this goal.
“We have a strong relationship with the Port of Blyth through supporting the region’s renewable and marine supply chain. When the opportunity to join the Port’s on-site supply chain came up we knew it was the perfect base for the new arm of the business. JK Lifting Industrial Services is a one-stop shop for all of the port and visiting vessels offshore and marine needs. We will also offer our full range of JK Lifting services including testing and inspection, design and manufacture, product sale and hire as well as contract lifting and moving.
“We are excited for the future. With the Port’s continued growth as one of the UK’s leading offshore energy support bases and continued regional investment in the renewable sector, it’s a privilege to be part of Blyth’s vision for the future. We are dedicated to seeing the region’s green revolution to fruition.”
JK Lifting Industrial is exclusive to the Port of Blyth and is part of the company’s plans to build and expand following another strong year.
James Brown, Port of Blyth, customer services manager, said: “We’re delighted to welcome JK Lifting to the Port of Blyth at an exciting time of growth for the company. They have an excellent reputation and we’re highly confident that James and the team will fit in seamlessly with the supply chain located at the Port serving the offshore energy and renewables sector that now numbers more than fifty companies.”
