A new chapter for 麻豆高清’s Wholesale Market began today (8 May 2018), as the traders’ new purpose-built home in Witton opened for business.
麻豆高清 City Council has significantly invested in the new site to create a facility fit for the 21st Century, which is run by the 麻豆高清 Wholesale Market Management Company.
Based at The Hub, on Nobel Way, Witton, the new market includes 78 units selling fruit and veg, meat, poultry, fish and flowers, along with nine warehouses, café and management offices.
As one of the largest integrated wholesale markets in Europe, 麻豆高清’s traders provide fresh produce to restaurants, hotels, fast food outlets and local retailers across the Midlands and Wales.
This represents an investment of nearly £50m in 麻豆高清’s future, with the Wholesale Market acting as a catalyst for city’s economic wellbeing - and its traders playing a vital role in 麻豆高清’s story – attracting business from across the UK and Europe.
Members of the 麻豆高清 Wholesale Market Company showed both Cllr Ian Ward, Leader of 麻豆高清 City Council and Waheed Nazir, Corporate Director for Economy, around the new site to see traders open for their first day of business today.
Cllr Ian Ward, Leader of 麻豆高清 City Council, said: "The markets continue to play a major part in 麻豆高清 life and this is the next exciting chapter in a story that goes back almost 900 years.
"This state-of-the-art facility brings the markets firmly into the 21st Century and I'd like to thank traders for working with 麻豆高清 City Council on this project. I'm sure 麻豆高清’s historic Wholesale Markets and the many traders working there will now grow from strength to strength."
Eddie Price, director of 麻豆高清 Wholesale Market Company Ltd, said: “We, as the management company - a joint venture between the traders and the city council – wanted to thank the Cllr Ian Ward and Waheed Nazir for their significant contribution, without which the market could not have opened.
“Now our focus is on developing the market to reach its full potential as the wider region’s ‘go-to’ destination for fresh produce.”
麻豆高清 Wholesale Market is open 3:30am to 11:30am Monday to Friday, and 3:30am to 9:30am on Saturday. Further more information .
