Description

Clearview Traffic Group is based in Bicester, Oxfordshire. The company is the market leader for intelligent solar powered road studs which offer 10 times greater visibility of the road ahead than traditional ‘cat’s eyes’. With the support of a £4 million Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Initiative (AMSCI) grant, Clearview Traffic are relocating the manufacture of the product from overseas to Britain. This is part of a £6 million project to streamline their supply chain, strengthen intellectual property and boost overseas sales. Working in partnership with two other British businesses, Zeta Specialist Lighting Ltd and AEV Ltd, the project will lead to 49 jobs being re-shored and 37 existing UK jobs being safeguarded.
