BUSINESS is booming for Barnsley belt manufacturer MB Products.

Eight months ago the company, which was set up 20 years ago to make tool belts for miners, spent half-a-million pounds on a bigger factory to accommodate its growing workload.

But such has been the demand for its highly specialised products that father and son team, Roger and Richard Godfrey, are already looking at possible future expansion.

The company moved to its new 16,000-square foot factory in Wombwell last summer.

It took on five new employees with the re-location from Parkgate, Rotherham, bringing the total to 22.
