Selco Builders Warehouse has opened its 63rd UK branch in St Albans, as part of its 2018 expansion plans.
The location enhances Selco’s presence in Hertfordshire, where it already operates nearby branches in Watford and Hemel Hempstead. Branches in Solihull, York, Milton Keynes and Leeds Roundhay have already been opened this year, with Leicester, Chelmsford and a second store in Bristol all due to be trading before the end of June.
The St Albans branch will feature the full Selco offering, including Selco Hire and a comprehensive kitchen design service. The launch 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 in excess of £500,000.
Howard Luft, Selco’s Chief Executive, said: “This is already our fifth branch opening of the year and, following on from major expansion over the last five years, confirms we are an ever-growing force in the builders’ merchant industry. While we are expanding into new areas all the time, strengthening our presence in and around London is pleasing.
“The nearby Watford and Hemel Hempstead branches have given us a base in the Hertfordshire region over the last few years and we are delighted to build on that with St Albans.”
