Williams Trade Only Plumbing and Heating Supplies has announced the opening of its 39th branch, in Poole, due to take place on 1 December.
This latest branch to open in the South West, joins the huge Bristol regional fulfilment centre and trade counter which opened in 2019, providing more same-day deliveries into the region.
The new branch will be led by Branch Manager Rob Arthurs, who brings years of experience in the plumbing sector and has put together an enthusiastic new team, with great local knowledge of the area. His ambition for the branch is to be the first choice for heating and plumbing supplies for those in the trade in Poole and the surrounding areas.
The opening of Poole has created four new jobs initially, and as the branch becomes established more jobs will become available.
Ray Stafford, Williams MD said, “Whilst we have been servicing the Poole area with same-day deliveries for many years, we are delighted to further enhance our ‘trade only’ service offering to this vibrant town with the opening of our newest trade counter. I’m sure that Rob Arthurs and his team will set new standards for excellence locally.”
Regarding Williams’ plans for the future, Stafford adds: “Poole is the first in our next wave of branch expansion, which will include locations in Wiltshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Bedfordshire, Essex and Hertfordshire in addition to Dorset.
“These additional sites will be supported by further investment in our second distribution centre, which will be created by the expansion of our current site at Milton Keynes. This expanded distribution facility will come online early in 2021.”
