A company which has developed the next generation of liquid roofing systems has attracted £750,000 investment from The North West Fund for Venture Capital and Lancashire’s Rosebud Fund, both of which are managed by Enterprise Ventures.
The business has been launched by former directors of Liquid Plastics in Preston - Jeremy Gorick, Phil Richardson and Bob Stanfield.
At Centaur Techologies they have been joined by David Gill, the former senior partner of Moore & Smalley, as non-executive director.
Paul Taberner from Enterprise Ventures said: “We are privileged to be able to support this exciting new company in Lancashire. The Centaur Technologies management team have played a leading role in this industry for 30 years. Their new venture will introduce a new generation of roofing membrane technology and has huge potential.”
"These were an important factor in Rosebud choosing to fund this innovative start-up, which will create high-quality new jobs in the county. We've identified the advanced manufacturing sector as one of our priorities for economic development in Lancashire." Keith Melling from Napthens in Preston provided legal advice to the Centaur team.
