A Manchester-based timber merchant is set for branch expansion with the support of funding from HSBC UK.
Illingworth Ingham has utilised a six-figure funding package provided by HSBC UK to acquire a new 20,051 sq ft site in Clitheroe, Lancashire.
The new site will become one of seven operated by Illingworth Ingham in the North West, allowing the family-owned business to reach new markets across the UK.
