Selco Builders Warehouse says it will provide an employment boost to the area when it takes the wraps off its new branch in Peterborough in April, with more than 30 jobs set to be created.
Situated on Padholme Road East, the new depot will be Selco’s 75th in the UK and recruitment will cover a wide variety of positions, with “virtually all the jobs expected to be given to people from the local area.”
CEO Howard Luft said: “We are delighted to be bringing the unique Selco model to Peterborough, offering tradespeople and businesses the perfect one-stop-shop for all their building materials and products. Opening a branch in a new area of the UK is always an exciting project and we look forward to providing a boost to tradespeople in the area as they will have the chance to enjoy the benefits Selco provides – unrivalled availability, with the widest range of products in stock, as well as excellent customer service and trade pricing.”
He added: “Our recruitment policy has always been to employ people from the branch’s local community and that is continuing here. We want to give the people of Peterborough genuine career opportunities and the chance to climb through the ranks at Selco.”
The merchant says it has also demonstrated its commitment to the local community by becoming an official partner of Peterborough United Football Club for the 2022-23 season.
