Success for Nailsworth engineering firm

Fluid Transfer International, based in Nailsworth, has secured a major £2.11 million deal in Indonesia. The engineering company, which supplies aircraft refuelling units for aircraft throughout the world, will now supply 22 hydrant dispenser vehicles to the national oil company of Indonesia. They will be used throughout the country’s airports. Managing director, John Little, speaking in South West Business News, said that the company ‘would be recruiting assembly, production and project engineers for the period of the contract’ meaning 25 new jobs for the area. Mr Little also said that the company had also been working hard ‘to win orders overseas’ after initially being more dependent on the UK defence industry. Winning the Indonesia order also involved advice and support from the Gloucestershire Chamber of Commerce and local M.P. Richard Graham.
