Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
Selco Builders Warehouse has continued its rapid expansion by opening its 66th UK branch in Chelmsford – the business’ eighth new store this year.
The new location further strengthens Selco’s presence in Essex, where it already has two other branches in Basildon and West Thurrock.
It has already been a very busy 2018 for Selco with the ribbon already cut on branches in Solihull, York, Milton Keynes, Leeds Roundhay, Bristol and Leicester.
The new Chelmsford branch features the full Selco offering, including Selco Hire and a comprehensive kitchen design service.
Howard Luft, Selco’s chief executive, said: “Selco Builders Warehouse continues to go from strength to strength, as demonstrated by our significant expansion this year, and indeed over the last five years.
Chelmsford is a new area for us and I’m sure our arrival will be warmly welcomed by tradesmen in the area, giving them greater convenience and choice.
“We are a one-stop shop for the trade and always put our customers first. As a genuine multi-channel builders merchant we want to give them the chance to get their building materials in the most convenient way possible.”
The launch of Selco Chelmsford has also seen the builders merchant continue its support to the local communities in which it operates, with a trio of good causes each receiving £1,000.
This is in addition to the fundraising programme for national charity partner Macmillan Cancer Support, which has already generated well in excess of £500,000.
With hundreds of trade brands always in stock and open seven days a week, the new branch is firmly focused on helping local tradespeople complete their jobs as quickly and effectively as possible.
As well as offering trade services, Selco Hire and a café in branch, Selco also has a strong digital presence including a 30 minute Click & Collect service and a free Project List app which allows tradespeople to plan, manage and quote for all jobs – as well as complete purchases – through their smartphone.
