What More UK – the Lancashire based manufacturer of Wham storage, bakeware and cookware – has announced the latest in a series of multi-million pound investments at its site.
A new building development will provide 26,000 sq. ft. of extra distribution space and operate as a link between two of What More’s existing buildings at its Altham site.
What More currently runs manufacturing, distribution and office space extending over 500,000 sq. ft. across its two sites: Altham and Shuttleworth Mead.
This announcement comes on the back of record turnover in 2019, and very positive business results since January of this year continuing right through the current health crisis. What More states that May 2020 was ‘the best May’ in the company’s 21-year history.
Company director Tony Grimshaw OBE said that What More is ready to stock UK retailers as bricks and mortar shops reopen this month, adding that: “This project, and others like it, are great for the morale of our 300 colleagues.”
What More invested in state-of-the-art bakeware machines in January, which has helped to support an increased demand for bakeware through lockdown.
