Jobs boost as Burnley fashion firm expands
The dotcom firm has bought the former Ultra Finihsing site in Widow Hill Road, across the road from its current base of operations.
It follows the recent completion of the company’s £14m. warehouse extension and is expected to result in an additional 125 jobs – bringing the total workforce in Burnley up to 1,000.

Since opening its distribution centre in Heasandford Industrial Estate three-and-half years ago, the company has continued to grow at an exponential rate.
This latest news comes after Ultra Finishing announced earlier this month it was ending its 30-year association with the town.
