Lime Green has made two significant upgrades to its plant in Much Wenlock in the last six months. New mixers and a new automated packaging line, both of which will increase capacity and enhance the customer experience.

The first phase of the investment has seen a new mixer and mini mixer come online; increasing production, reducing lead times and freeing up staff to be upskilled, so the business can expand further. 

Lime Green produces Lime plasters, mortars and renders and its products have been used in some of the most prestigious projects in the UK from the upkeep of Shakespeare’s Globe theatre to the renovations of St Pancras Station and a new accessible route into the gardens at the Towe of London.  They were also asked to supply product for a show garden at RHS Chelsea in 2023.

The company is also at the forefront of the drive to retrofit building having their own insulation system, Warmshell.

Simon Ayres said: “We’re steeped in history in the area about the production of lime, so Much Wenlock felt like the right place to be.  We’ve grown so much over the last twenty-one years and this latest investment will increase capacity, reduce lead times and free up some of our existing staff to train up as we expand.
