Avago Karting was set up in 1995 by Steve Sutton who still manages the business.
From their base in Swinton Bridge Industrial Estate, the family firm has entertained more than 400,000 drivers over its lifespan including stag and hen dos, birthday and children’s parties.
Steve said: “Having the new vehicles up and running means that we can reduce our emissions, costs and keep our customers in the fast lane. By upgrading our stock, we have secured the business’ future in the area for years to come. We have a solid platform for growth and are always looking for opportunities to improve and expand.”
