- “The project to build a warehouse extension at the Bold Lane site is set to begin in late 2025. This is slightly later than previous expected but should still offer its facilities to customers in the second half of 2026. Operations in Burtonwood on the can line moved to a 24/7 continental shift pattern of working in October 2025 to take advantage of the increasing demand and this shift pattern is expected to run beyond the end of the next financial year.”
