    Work starts on £20m Greencroft Two self-powered bottling plant in County Durham

    A North East wine bottling business is creating a new £20m building which set to become one of the region’s most sustainable facilities.

    Lanchester Group of Companies has launched construction of Greencroft Two near Stanley, County Durham, which will become a self-powered home for its Greencroft Bottling Company, the sister business to Lanchester Wines.

    The new £20m building will be more than 235,000 sq ft – equivalent to about four football pitches – and will more than double the potential capacity at Greencroft Bottling to up to 400m litres per year, which is equivalent to 28% of all wine sold in the UK.
