SIG Roofing has opened a new branch in Carlisle, to service the wider Northwest, and the Dumfries and Galloway area.
The first new SIG Roofing site for a number of years, Carlisle is run by branch manager Richard Whittington and assistant branch manager Grant Kelton, featuring the full SIG Roofing stock profile, and is a one-stop-shop for roofing contractors large and small who are undertaking roofing projects. With a full flat roof offering covering single ply, EPDM, and liquids to an extensive insulation range, slate tile mix, and industrial roofing offer, the site is perfectly placed to support local projects fast and effectively.
George Stewart, Regional Director for SIG, says: “This is an incredibly exciting time at SIG Roofing, with the new Carlisle branch representing a significant step in our customer-first strategy. With plenty of projects coming through from the local authority in Carlisle, new build projects, and reroofing work, it’s the perfect opportunity to better service a growing area. Previously we’ve supported the area out of Blackpool, Gateshead, Melrose and Glasgow but these are all significant journeys away. Opening a branch in the heart of Carlisle really gets us closer to our customer.”
The move to expand the branch network is part of new Managing Director Chris Lodge’s ambition for growth with SIG Roofing. Building on the success of the ongoing company strategy, the new branch leverages the strength of the SIG network – broad stock offer, wealth of expertise, and nationwide logistics – with the power of local knowledge.
