Construction is well under way on the 68,000 sq ft building equipped with solar panels and EV car charging points, at the industrial park at Farington and is due to be completed in the next few months.
The new industrial unit has been pre-let to neighbouring tenants Accrol Group, one of the UK’s independent tissue manufacturers.
Mark Dewhurst, chief operating officer of Accrol, said: “We employ a strong team of around 100 colleagues in Leyland and are excited to be investing further to expand our operations and support the ongoing growth of our business.”
Accrol Group Holdings plc (LON:ACRL) is the UK’s leading independent tissue converter, producing toilet tissue, kitchen towel, facial tissue and biodegradable wet wipes.
