SIG Roofing network announces it is opening a new “flagship” branch in Luton, it will have an improved breadth of stock, including the new solar offering.
The merchant previously had a presence in Luton. However, SIG claim that its new branch is poised to offer an improved range and experience for customers.
Regional director for North London, Iain Prince, said: “Luton was the right place to open a new branch. Its size means we have the opportunity to stock a broader range as well as the new Solar offering. This, combined with its location just off the M1, made it the perfect site for servicing the wider area.”
The demand for product is here with plenty of projects coming through. Being larger also means Luton will be able to support our smaller branches further away in terms of stock holding. It’s a win-win as local customers get the full SIG Roofing range, while nearby branches are able to confidently discuss products they might not have had access to before.”
The increased range includes full system offerings for flat, pitched, rainwater, insulation and cladding requirements as well as industrial roofing products.
Alongside this, the branch includes an innovative offering with Solar, providing quotations on request with short lead times on product availability.
Jonathon Linford, branch manager, added: “Obviously I am a little nervous about the launch but I am also very excited about what is to come. I am happy that SIG have placed their confidence in me. My team and I have been working overtime in preparation for August.”
To help establish the new branch, on September 12 the team will be hosting a Trade Day, where customers will have the chance to meet and speak with suppliers.
