PRIME Minister David Cameron has praised a Warrington for its success in securing export deals.
He announced deals of more than £200million to business leaders at a conference in Glasgow on Wednesday.
Warrington-based software company ICC Solutions, based at St James Court, has announced a £20 million contract to provide chip and pin test tools and certification services to the US.
The move will create up to 50 UK jobs.
Mr Cameron said: “Part of our long-term economic plan is about promoting every part of our country to the world and Glasgow’s Commonwealth Games will give us another fantastic platform to do this.
“It follows on from London 2012, which was not just an amazing sporting event, but also a great opportunity to secure a lasting economic and sporting legacy for the whole UK.
“This government will continue to work on behalf of every hardworking business in the UK to drum up trade, encourage investment and pave the way for growth so we can generate jobs, pay our way in the world, and create stability, security and a brighter future for our country.”
The Commonwealth Games Business Conference is the first of two events dedicated to promoting UK businesses during the high-profile sporting events.
