Joe Browns, which employs more than 150 people in Yorkshire, has converted its car park into additional space for its warehouse,
The warehouse has gone from 60,000 sq ft to 87,000 sq ft, with the conversion representing a £1.3m investment from the company.
Darren Abbott, financial director, commented; “Despite the challenges 2020 posed, and there were a few, we never lost faith in the strength of the Joe Browns brand and our extraordinary offering.
“The importance of investing in our future remained, and so our commitment to progression continued.”
“We now have an 87,000ft warehouse with the potential to create a further 40,000sq ft in the future with a double mezzanine.
“The difference the extra space makes to our operations is huge. It allows us to think even bigger when considering future plans and projects.”
