Sheds ahead in German contract

Wednesday 17 February 2010

A Draperstown-based shedmaker is to export its products to a leading German chain of DIY stores. Yardmaster International, which makes flat-pack metal garden sheds and garages, won a contract from Hellweg in Dortmund that will see its self assembly sheds on sale in the company's 80 German and Austrian depots.

Founded in 1984, Yardmaster currently employs 70 people at Draperstown. Its success in securing business in Germany has been supported by Invest Northern Ireland, which has an office in Dusseldorf.
