Boughton has opened a new depot in Hinckley, South-West Leicestershire. The expansion signals a significant investment by the company and is part of its five-year growth plans to better cater to rapidly-growing demand for natural and sustainable landscaping products. The move will improve service to customers in Birmingham Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Derbyshire, creating new opportunities for the supplier.

The new site in Hinckley has increased Boughton's capacity and enabled the company to offer customers greater availability, plus extremely competitive rates on BLS2 Screened Natural Topsoil, BLS20 Natural Topsoil (natural topsoil blended with 20% compost), and BLS40 Natural Topsoil (natural topsoil blended with 40% compost).


The Hinckley depot is a welcome addition to Boughton’s operations, which already include a soil production facility in Kettering and hardcore recycling facility in Boughton, Northamptonshire. To bring the new project to fruition, Boughton partnered with Powners Farm in Hinckley to make use of some of its land and resources, including staff, a telehandler, and drying shed.

Boughton has installed a screen onsite and trained staff to screen and blend soil to its exacting standards, ensuring that the high quality Boughton’s customers have come to expect is maintained. The site already had a weighbridge system, which Boughton has updated with new technology to link seamlessly with its current systems; providing a smooth transition.
