Saffil on Sullivan Road manufactures and distributes inorganic fibres for high temperature use and now wants permission for a new storage building. The company - which employs 70 staff - currently leases warehousing space in Holywell, North Wales, but says having to transport its products there before they are distributed is hampering efficiency and increasing its carbon footprint. Halton Council planning chiefs are set to meet soon where they are recommended to rubber-stamp the plans.
