A FIRM manufacturing and supplying drain cleaning equipment has strengthened its position in the market with a major investment.

G K and N Services has opened a trade shop at its 8,000sq ft premises at Colne Vale Business Park, Milnsbridge, as well as producing a full-colour products catalogue.

The company, which celebrated its 10th anniversary last year and has seven employees, is run by husband and wife Gary and Karen Elsy.

It manufactures its own range of jetters, van packs, tankers, remote reels and drainage equipment.

Other services include installing electrical equipment, fitting out vans in wood and aluminium, service and MoT work on trucks and vans as well as pre-purchase inspections of tankers and jetters.

The company supplies high-pressure draining cleaning equipment and vehicles to customers ranging from sole traders to major companies and local authorities across the British Isles – including Wales, Scotland, the Channel Isles and Eire.

Said Karen: “We moved here from Honley two years ago to expand our manufacturing and servicing facilities.

“We didn’t have the space to open a jetting accessories shop before – but with the move we decided to make that investment.”

Although we have customers all over the country, we find some people want to call in.

“We have had drain cleaning franchisees from York and Doncaster calling on their way to jobs for items such as drain rods, hand tools and jetting hoses.”
