Before taking pride of place at anniversary events this year, Econ's Golden Gritter will return to the company's Gritter Museum, a showroom of historic machinery based at its factory. Econ employs over 200 staff at its HQ and manufacturing base in Ripon, North Yorkshire. It has a turnover of £28m and produces 80% of all the salt-spreading vehicles used on the UK's roads. The family business, which is the largest gritter and road-mending vehicle manufacturer in the UK, continues to recruit for new staff after another upsurge in orders from local authorities and other clients. It is also set to open a new depot in Alloa near Stirling later this year.
