Manchester-based logistics company has secured a seven-figure funding package from HSBC UK, paving the way for significant growth in the coming years.
Operating under Hal Property Holdings, Heritage Apparel plans to utilise this HSBC UK funding to strengthen its logistics capacity and expand its workforce.
The HSBC UK funding has enabled Heritage Apparel to acquire 20,000 sq. ft of extra space, increasing its overall warehousing capacity by over 40 per cent in Northwich. This will enhance the company’s ability to support international fashion, sports, and outdoor brands with comprehensive third-party logistics services.
In line with its expansion, Heritage Apparel is set to boost its workforce by more than 15 per cent, creating new job opportunities within Northwich.
With an expanded facility, Heritage Apparel expects to grow the company by over 60%, better preparing it to scale its direct-to-consumer fulfilment and wholesale services, which encompasses dispatching orders to 190 different countries.
