Aqualand Industries, based in Holmfirth, has made a six figure investment to double the size of its manufacturing facility, creating six new jobs.

The new 4,000 square foot factory and warehouse space will accommodate the company's growing product range, and support its export business.

The firm, which serves the leisure industry, saw a 700 per cent increase in orders for its children's ride-on vehicles in the first half of 2024.

Aqualand Industries also provides consultancy services.

The company says it is on track to achieve a turnover of £1m this year, and wants to expand its export business into Scandinavia and across Europe.

Carl Byford, general manager of Aqualand Industries, said: "We reengineered the business to focus on helping destinations with plan, play, and profit.

"The turnkey service is helping to grow our business and provide customers with the support they need to grow.

"Investing in our new manufacturing facility will ensure we can take the business to the next level."

Aqualand Industries' expanded product range includes the electric six-wheeled Crazi-Bugz, Adventure-Trukz, and Adventurer pedal cart.

The firm offers leasing, full purchase, or a mixture of both to operators.
