MP David Nuttall has hailed Datum a ‘great’ example of British manufacturing.
The Bury North MP met CEO and founder Rory O’Rourke during a visit to Datum’s global headquarters in Greater Manchester.
Conservative MP Nuttall met some of the 120 strong workforce and was given an insight into some of the products produced by Datum and used around the world.
He said “I often hear the problem with Bury is that there is no manufacturing and there are no well paid jobs. I know from my visits to Companies in and around Bury over the years that actually the truth is very different.
“I saw further evidence of this yesterday when I visited a great Bury based company yesterday called Datum Monitoring.
“They provide technical services and equipment which essentially measure the movement of surrounding buildings during excavation activities.
“They employ dozens of people here at their headquarters in Bury and dozens more around the Country with some overseas as they export their goods and services.”
Nuttall was given a tour of Datum headquarters and met members of staff.
