Travis Perkins Managed Services, the materials supplier to social housing providers, has opened a new hub to help housing association Salix Homes deliver its repairs service.
The depot in Weaste, Salford, will support Salix Homes’ repairs and maintenance teams with parts, materials, training facilities, and on-site recycling areas to help manage waste sustainably.
The hub will provide operatives with quicker access to the parts they need to maintain and repair Salix Homes’ 8,000 properties across Salford. Replacing its older, smaller repairs depot, with a purpose built facility with space for a much larger stock supply for construction, maintenance, and repairs, as well as equipment hire all on one site.
Managing director at Travis Perkins Managed Services, Ben Todd, says: “It’s great that we can continue to build our trusted partnership with Salix Homes. The hub will arm Salix Homes operatives working on social housing with everything they need to improve the lives of their residents. The addition of TPgo Order means they will be able to make big efficiencies in their processes too.”
