Seven-figure backing puts logistics provider on road to expansion

Heritage Apparel, a Manchester-based logistics company, has secured a seven-figure funding package from HSBC UK, paving the way for significant growth in the coming years.

Operating under Hal Property Holdings, Heritage Apparel plans to use the funding to strengthen its logistics capacity and expand its workforce.

The bank’s support has enabled Heritage Apparel to acquire 20,000 sq ft of extra space, increasing its overall warehousing capacity by more than 40% in Northwich.

This will enhance the company’s ability to support international fashion, sports, and outdoor brands with comprehensive third party logistics services.

In line with its expansion, Heritage is set to boost its workforce by more than 15%, creating new job opportunities within Northwich.

With an expanded facility, Heritage expects to grow the company by more than 60%, better preparing it to scale its direct-to-consumer fulfilment and wholesale services, which encompasses dispatching orders to 190 different countries.

Tim Gardiner, co-owner at Heritage, said: “This HSBC UK support marks a pivotal moment in our business’s growth strategy, allowing us to expand our facilities, create new jobs within the local community and provide us with the security needed to continue to flourish.

“We’re better positioned to adapt to the market’s evolving landscape and build a robust, future-proofed logistics operation.”

Darren Martin, relationship manager at HSBC UK, said: “We are committed to offering support that empowers businesses to create new jobs, reach their growth ambitious and secure long term future success.”
