Sidmouth sawmill's owners 'to double sales'

New owners of a Devon sawmill say they aim to double annual sales to £1.5m in the next 12 months.

Fence Stores Group, which took over Victoria Sawmills in Sidmouth, is also taking on two clerical and two manual workers.

The business, rebranded The Fencing Centre, has outlets in four counties, Devon, Dorset, Hampshire and Somerset.

The firm, which started 26 years ago in Parley, Dorset, now has more than 50 staff.
