Lloyd Atkin, managing director, said: “Over the past five years Bio-D has seen a rapid increase in sales and our previous site just didn’t have the space we needed to manufacture and store our products whilst upscaling.
“The new site means we can bring all our operations and storage back in-house and create more job opportunities across the city.

In line with the eco-friendly ethos, solar panels will allow it to operate with self-generated renewable power too.
