In 2018, Pasquill received approval for the first part of the multi-million pound redevelopment at its site in Chorley. Pasquill, one of the largest truss manufacturers in the UK, began phase one of the project in November 2018.
The redevelopment of the site is planned in four phases and scheduled to be completed in 2020. The redevelopment involves infrastructure works and installation of new equipment.
