Selco Builders Warehouse has launched a new partnership with HSS Hire in a move designed to “further enhance its reputation as a ‘one-stop shop’ for tradespeople.”
The leading tool and equipment hire specialist has opened its first two satellite operations in Selco’s branches in Slough and Milton Keynes with the merchant’s Tottenham and Ashton-under-Lyne branches also benefitting from the hire service before the end of the year. A “significant expansion” to the partnership is planned for 2024.
The partnership will see an HSS Hire satellite desk found at the trade counter of Selco branches, with HSS Hire teams in place to provide specialist advice for the offering.
Selco CEO Howard Luft said: “This is a perfect partnership and an exciting development for our customers heading into 2024. Here at Selco, our commitment is to offer everything a tradesperson might need to go about their daily work all under one roof and the relationship we have formed with HSS Hire strengthens that proposition even further.
“At the heart of the ethos of both ourselves and HSS Hire is to offer outstanding service, so it’s very much a win-win scenario for our customers. We are excited to have launched the partnership and look forward to it continuing for many years to come.”
Bart Murphy, Director at HSS Hire, added: “We are looking to expand into strategic locations across the UK and this partnership with Selco represents an ideal chance to do that. There is a natural fit between the services offered by a builders’ merchant and a tool and equipment hire specialist, and we are delighted to be working in tandem with Selco to enhance the journeys for both sets of customers.”
