The Nilco range, which also includes general housekeeping products, can now be found on the shelves of B&Q’s 350 UK stores, which see footfall of more than three million DIY, home and garden enthusiasts every week.
Oldham-based James Briggs designs the Nilco range at its new £1.5m Technical Centre with manufacturing taking place at its nearby Royton manufacturing facility.
As part of James Briggs’ ambitious growth strategy, the agreement

follows close on the heels of the business’ recent acquisition of Cheltenham-based Premiere Products, whose range of products will now be manufactured in the North West alongside the Nilco range.
Commenting on the deal, Max Bass, Commercial Director of James Briggs Ltd, said: “James Briggs has enjoyed significant growth over the past two years, and Nilco has played a major part in our impressive
financial performance. This deal pays testament to the quality of the brand and we’re pleased that such a highly regarded retailer as B&Q has asked us to add to their product offering.
“As a growing business we’re continuing to source exciting new distribution channels that will sustainably aid our expansion, and we look forward to announcing further new partnerships in the near future.”

Without support and carefully designed interventions, candidates from disadvantaged backgrounds can often lack awareness of the work place environment, job opportunities, employer’s expectations, confidence and communication skills and as a result can experience long term unemployment.
Principle Cleaning recently opened the doors to the site of one of its clients, Lloyd’s of London, hosting three East London Foundation Trust users sourced through Broadgate Connect. This included an overview of Lloyd’s and Principle Cleaning, including
logistics, cleaning roles available and employer’s expectations. A building tour, highlighting an awareness of the environment and cleaning responsibilities was included in the morning’s activities for the candidates interested in pursuing a career in the cleaning industry. One volunteer said: “The event exceeded my expectations; I have an interest in helping people with mental health illness be introduced into the workplace.”
All candidates will go on to complete a Principle Cleaning training into work scheme, which consists of one week of employability skills training followed by a two week placement on site at Lloyd’s in cleaning positions. On successful completion, candidates will receive interviews for cleaning opportunities available across Principle Cleaning's portfolio. One participant said: “I enjoyed learning about the building and the different cleaning jobs available. I think the tips for my CV and feedback received from the mock interviews was key for me.”
