The new site will become one of seven operated by Illingworth Ingham in the north-west, allowing the family-owned business to reach new markets across the UK.
As a result of the HSBC UK funded acquisition, Illingworth Ingham is anticipating the creation of multiple new jobs, an improvement of customer service and an increase in sales over the next 12 months.
“This is a very exciting time at Illingworth Ingham as we add another site to our existing portfolio,” said Adrian Thornley, branch development manager at Illingworth Ingham. “As a dedicated family business, with over 90 years of industry experience, we hope to focus on enhancing our facilities to create the best service for our new and existing customer base. We look forward to welcoming more customers from across the UK and seizing further opportunities for expansion in the future.”
