The firm has agreed a 20-year lease on a newly developed 133,606 sq ft facility at Symmetry Park, as well as extending its current lease on another unit within the park by eight years.

The units, which were developed by national logistics developer Tritax Symmetry, will be used for the storage, fulfilment and distribution of Butternut Box's fresh dog food and treats.
