Company on the move backs Accrington

A leading import and distribution company is backing local football club Accrington Stanley after relocating its growing business to new offices in Hyndburn.

Founded more than 25 years ago, JWP Ltd imports and distributes innovative and high quality products to well-known trade and retail outlets across the UK, specialising in home and kitchenware. Now a subsidiary of the Meyer Group - one of the UK's largest kitchenware suppliers - it is settling into new offices at Mercury Rise, on the Altham Business Park.

"We're aiming to hit £10m turnover in the next 12 months, we've recruited four new staff members in the past year and we're continuing to grow. These smart modern offices are perfect for us, with great motorway links."

"We want to feel part of the community and all of our staff and their families are invited along to the match on the 14th, with some of the children acting as mascots," added Geoff.
