Grants from the Government's regional growth fund will help create and protect 275 jobs at two firms in the North East, Nick Clegg will announce on a visit to the region.

CAV Aerospace in Durham, which manufactures aircraft components such as ice protection systems, is receiving £1.4 million which, with £8.2 million of its own investment, will generate 78 jobs and keep another 105. A £750,000 grant will boost a £3.2 million investment by the city's Greencroft Bottling in new production lines and IT systems.
