Specialist drainage merchant Drainfast is to open a new depot in Doncaster, from the start of February.
The strategically located depot will significantly extend the company’s reach across the North of England, allowing it to better support civils and groundworks contractors throughout Yorkshire and Lancashire, including major construction hubs such as Doncaster, Sheffield, Leeds, Hull, York, Bradford, Manchester, Liverpool and Preston.
“We chose Doncaster very deliberately,” said managing director Trevor James. “Its proximity to the A1 and M62 gives us excellent access across Yorkshire and Lancashire, allowing us to support sites in cities like Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, Hull and York. Opening a fourth depot in Doncaster is a natural next step for us as we build on our strong base of long-standing customers in London, the South East and the Midlands.
“This expansion is an investment in the future. As construction activity continues to strengthen in the North of England, we want to be there, ready to support contractors with the speed, certainty and service that sets Drainfast apart.”
