Selco Builders Warehouse has announced the opening of what will be its 75th branch, in Peterborough.

More than 30 jobs are set to be created by the opening of the branch in April. Recruitment will cover a wide variety of positions, with virtually all the jobs expected to be given to people from the local area.

Howard Luft, Chief Executive of Selco Builders Warehouse, 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.

“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.”
