Visitors view updated facilities:BPOA group visits Neame Lea to see new glasshouse

摘要

Around 60 British Protected Ornamentals Association (BPOA) members have visited Neame Lea Nurseries in Lincolnshire. The BPOA group, which came from as far afield as Jersey and Cumbria, saw new glass from Kees Greeve covering40,000sq m.The turnkey project is due for completion by the end of the year. Managing director David Ball said using more automation in the new glasshouses and production areas will help to offset National Living Wage (NLW) rises, which he said would increase Neame Lea's wage bill by 15 per cent — or E400,000.
