What we see on Wigan sites
Wigan has a big food manufacturing presence and plenty of logistics along the M6. Food sites tend to run hot water boilers, cooking ovens and drying plant, often around the clock, so servicing has to fit planned shutdowns. We already cover Wigan on the current site, and it remains a key area for our boiler and process burner work.
