Robert Wiseman moves to Solstice Park

Scotsman - 27 September 2008

Robert Wiseman Dairies has won planning permission for a new dairy depot at Amesbury in Wiltshire.

Group Finance Director Billy Keane said:
"Given our confidence in the future volume growth of the business, we have been searching for over twelve months for a suitable new distribution depot site. We are pleased to confirm that, following the granting of planning permission on 19 September 2008, we have conditionally agreed to buy a 9 acre site in Amesbury, Wiltshire at a total land cost of £4.5 million.

We expect a satisfactory outcome for the financial year and remain confident that, with our new Bridgwater dairy now fully on-stream and a new distribution site acquired, we are well positioned for future growth."

Robert Wiseman will now finalise the costs and timescales of construction prior to committing to building the new Solstice Park depot. The new facility will help Robert Wiseman deliver more efficiently to the South East of England market. The company plan the new facility to be operational by next year.

Alder King and Humberts have been appointed joint marketing agents.
