He told BBC NI that the future of the firm had been secured in the deal.

"It is a credit to the dedication and commitment of the staff at Redrock who have maintained manufacturing output throughout our administration period, retaining confidence in the marketplace and protecting the sales process - this at a time when the general economic climate remains difficult," he said.
