Less than six months on from the idea first being mooted, Connolly Leather has advised that the relocation of its wet blue and wet white dressing and finishing operations to Northampton is nearly complete.

Undertaken as part of the company’s wider strategy to concentrate on its traditional market for top quality, full grain leather, the relocation has seen the business effectively become a Northampton-based company, where it has taken up residence in the former W. Pearce footwear tannery. (See Leatherbiz.com story "Connolly pulls out of US joint venture, cuts jobs in UK", December 5, 2001).
