A COMPANY based in the South created four jobs by choosing Darlington's Lingfield Point as the location for its latest expansion.

Eton Analytical Limited, a division of Eton Environmental Services, is setting up an in-house analysis centre at Lingfield House.

Eton Environmental Services specialises in asbestos surveys on commercial properties, with a range of blue chip clients including county councils, airlines and the NHS.

Samples were previously sent to an outside lab for analysis, but the new Lingfield House facility will enable this to be done internally.

John Davison, general manager of Eton Analytical, said Lingfield Point, which has undergone a £16m transformation, was the perfect place for the venture.
