A SHEFFIELD firm, which began life as a one man tool repair business a decade ago and has gone on to develop a range of innovative power saws, has officially launched its new headquarters at Holbrook.

Evolution, founded by managing director Matthew Gavins, moved from repairs into supplying specialist steel working products such as dry cutting tungsten carbide tipped saws and magnetic drills.

Thanks to the knowledge and experience it gained in that field, the company has gone on to develop a range of innovative multipurpose saws, which cut steel, aluminium and wood, using just one blade.

Evolution's new headquarters at Holbrook were opened by former World Snooker Champion Shaun Murphy and Sheffield United star Billy Sharp.
