Britain's ambassador to Switzerland visited a Swiss-owned electronics firm in Worthing to discuss the firm's expansion plans.

Basil Eastwood was invited to Lemo (UK), based in North Street, along with a representative from the South-East England Development Agency (Seeda).

Lemo manufactures specialist electronic and fibre optic connectors and cable assemblies for a range of applications, including medical, broadcast and instrumentation markets.

The UK operation, which employs 40 people, is planning to expand its cable assembly facilities and double the size of the business.
