A Sussex firm has won national recognition for its technical testing services.

Shoreham-based Young Calibration was founded in 1996 by Adrian Young as a one-person operation.

It has a client base covering Formula 1 racing to medical and academic firms.

Managing director Adrian Young said: "We are positive in our local business expansion plans and with our market research to being finished, we hope to offer a complete package for local businesses.
