Must read

Manchester-based Heritage Apparel, operating under Hal Property Holdings, will use the funding from HSBC UK to expand its logistics capacity and grow its workforce.

As part of this, the company has acquired an additional 20,000 sq ft of space in Northwich, increasing its warehousing capacity by more than 40 per cent.

This will enable the company to better support international fashion, sports, and outdoor brands with their logistics needs.

The expansion also means that Heritage Apparel will be able to increase its workforce by more than 15 per cent, creating new jobs in the town.

With the extra space, the company expects to grow by more than 60 per cent, boosting its direct-to-consumer fulfilment and wholesale services, which include dispatching orders to 190 countries.

Tim Gardiner, co-owner at Heritage Apparel, said: “This HSBC UK support marks a pivotal moment in our business’ growth strategy, allowing us to expand our facilities, create new jobs within the local community and provide us with the security needed to continue to flourish.

“With HSBC UK’s support and commitment to understand our unique needs, we’re better positioned to adapt to the market’s evolving landscape and build a robust, future-proofed logistics operation.”

Darren Martin, relationship manager at HSBC UK, added: “We are committed to offering support that empowers businesses to create new jobs, reach their growth ambitions and secure long-term future success.

“We are excited to be part of Heritage Apparel’s journey.”
