The steel frame of the new Dobson & Crowther printworks being built at the Cilmedw site on the outskirts of Llangollen is now rapidly taking shape.

Once work on it is complete, the plan is for the company to move there allowing its current site to be used to develop a new Sainsbury’s supermarket.

Builders JR Pickstock say the factory project will take seven months to complete, with construction on the new food store due to start in the second half of this year once D&C has moved to its new premises.

The new factory covers 45,000 square feet and the new Sainsbury’s store will be 34,500 square feet.
