Work begins on new Polestar factory

Work on Polestar Pettys new press hall and bindery is somewhat more advanced than at Howitts Equator plant.

The picture of the firms Leeds site shows no grazing ponies, just full-on construction work. It is set for completion in January 2004, with building work having commenced on 15 June.

We are slightly in advance of our original schedule, with the walls and cladding next to go on during this month, said Polestar Petty managing director Peter Greaves. The press hall forms part of a 16m investment plan for the plant over the next two years.
