Commenting on the move, Hans Schreuder said: "Rockwool has aggressive targets for growth in the UK and we see expanding our UK operations to London as a key part of this process.

As well as establishing a new London HQ, Rockwool is also currently doubling capacity at its manufacturing facility in Bridgend, South Wales, which will be complete by the end of 2008.
This large-scale expansion programme will include the installation of a third, technically-advanced production line, which will significantly increase Rockwool's capacity and create 110 new skilled jobs.
In addition, the investment programme will also see the creation of new warehousing, technical support and distribution facilities to support the increased capacity and ensure a responsive and flexible service, industry wide.
