James Burrell Builders Merchant have announced that they are investing £1 million in expanding their Yorkshire Key Account Team as part of its ongoing growth in the region.

The company, who currently have 10 branches across the North-East and Yorkshire, have introduced a new key accounts team into their most recently opened branch in Rotherham and are expanding their team in Ossett to accommodate growing demand in both areas.

The investment brings 8 new jobs to the regions and allows the company to expand its service to areas such as Doncaster, Sheffield and Barnsley.

The Builders Merchant, established over 140 years ago, specialising in providing a high level of service to large contractors, housebuilders and their sub-contractors across their trading demographic. Key customers include Persimmon Homes, Miller Homes, Bellway Homes, Sir Robert McAlpine, Robertson Construction and McCarthy & Stone.

Commenting on the expansion, head of company sales, Michael Fahey said: ‘As a company, we already have established Key Accounts Teams across the North East and Yorkshire and we are delighted to be continuing our growth and investment in South Yorkshire.

We are very lucky to have such talented and passionate staff across all aspects of the business and the new team at Rotherham is no different. They bring with them a wealth of product, industry and local knowledge and customers can expect the high level of service that James Burrell has a well-earned reputation for’.

The recent staff expansion follows an influx of investment for the family-owned merchant with a £120k renovation of their Bishop branch and a £2m investment in their recently opened branch at Rotherham.
