A CAR engineering company has made its premises more energy efficient following a £7,550 grant from the Shipley Towns Fund.

Danst Engineering, based at 2 Aireside Road in Shipley, used the funding to install solar panels, IT equipment and 3D scanning equipment.

Dan Standley, managing director, said: "This investment meant we were able to increase our outputs while maintaining the same exacting high standards.

"This improvement to our efficiencies has already resulted in additional capacity and will in future, facilitate the creation of a new job.

"We offer a specialist service, and we are pleased to be able to invest in growth."

The funding was awarded through the Capital Assistance Grant Project.

Gill Thornton, chair of the Shipley Towns Fund, said: "It’s so positive to see how this funding is already making such a significant impact for local businesses.

"The creation of new jobs is always very welcome."
