James Jones & Sons is expanding facilities at its Hetton site following planning permission approval for a 55,000 sq ft site redevelopment. The business will expand and redevelop its premises into a green facility that will include the installation of a biomass boiler. Work will now begin on the new facility, which is expected to be completed in 2022.
The new space will support the pallet-making process and will also allow the firm to install a new biomass boiler, which will be fuelled by James Jones’s own recycled timber, enhancing the firm’s environmental credentials, reducing carbon emissions and further strengthening the company’s contribution to a circular supply chain.
James Jones & Sons Ltd is a family owned and managed forest products company.
