Builders’ merchant Travis Perkins has expanded its Birmingham Central branch, more than doubling its size.
The site, Located on South Road in Hockley, was previously an acre in size but it is now roughly 2.2 acres after work to improve its flagship Birmingham branch was completed in December 2025.
The improved branch was officially revealed last week, and boasts a brand new Benchmarx Kitchen showroom as well as an expanded hire service.
Regional director Dan Storer says: “With its location so close to Birmingham, this is a very busy branch, but now there is so much more space and we can get our customers in and out much quicker so they can get on with their jobs.
“We are thrilled with how it has turned out and it allows us to provide a better service to those working on building projects and home improvements across the wider Birmingham area.
“The fact we have also been able to make a generous donation to Alzheimer’s Society is just another positive with all the brilliant work it does supporting people in the local community.”
As part of the expansion, Travis Perkins donated £1,000 to Alzheimer’s Society, the business’ nominated charity.
