Due to their continued success and limited site constraints cutailing expansion possibilities at their existing facility in Bradford, TD Jagger Limited were appointed to design and project manage a new build 5,574m² / 60,000ft² manufacturing plant at a new site on Cutler Heights Lane in Bradford.

The work on site entailed demolition of an existing three storey office building and construction of a new manufacturing/storage building constructed using a combination of brickwork, vertical, horizontal and flat cladding panels, all in a colour palette sympathetic to the J.R.
