Angloco, which expanded into larger premises on the Spring Lane Industrial Estate earlier this year, builds bespoke fire appliances for use in the UK and abroad.

West Worcestershire MP, Dame Harriett Baldwin, has agreed to champion the firm in its mission.

She visited the site to meet the management team and see their operations first-hand.

Dame Harriett said: “It was great to meet with the management team at Angloco and hear about their exciting plans to expand their business after moving into a larger facility in Malvern.

“As well as our impressive small car export heritage in Malvern, it’s exciting to see larger, purpose-built vehicles being designed and manufactured here for customers around the globe.”

The MP praised the significant way the company is contributing to the local economy through its highly specialised work.

Alistair Brown, Angloco’s managing director, said: “We were delighted to welcome Dame Harriett to our new facility and to share the story of our growth here in Malvern.

“The move has allowed us to increase production capacity and continue delivering world-class fire appliances to our customers at home and overseas.

“We’re proud to be manufacturing high quality British made vehicles, which are saving lives around the world, and not only this, contributing to the local economy with skilled jobs and long-term investment.”
