Fresh produce supplier Dole Fresh UK has signed a 20-year lease on a bespoke banana ripening facility near Wigan.
The 61,000 square foot warehouse is part of a major new distribution centre, named M6 Epic, near junction 25 of the motorway in Lancashire.
The site is a joint venture between developer Barwood and Legal & General Property (LGP), and has planning permission for a further 515,000 sq ft of distribution warehouse units.
The two companies are currently in talks for further large-scale facilities on the site with a number of parties.
Dole Fresh UK is a subsidiary of Compagnie Fruitiere, the largest producer of fruit in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific region.
