Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
A new branch of builders merchant Travis Perkins has opened in Glasgow, the merchant’s fourth in the Scottish city.
The branch on Helen Street, contains a Benchmarx Kitchens & Joinery showroom as well as a Travis Perkins Hire, was opened by former Scotland international footballer and Soccer Saturday broadcaster Alan McInally.
The 2.6 acre site stocks over 25,000 products including a large landscaping, drainage and lintel range as well as an extensive array of timber, bricks and blocks.
Liam Mcintyre, Branch Manager at Travis Perkins Helen Street, said: “After months of planning and preparation, we are absolutely delighted to have opened the doors to our branch. We have a strong presence in the city already but we are pleased to add another branch to our network. It was great to have Scottish football star Alan McInally in the branch to cut the ribbon, and our customers really bought into the trade triathlon with the winners having the chance to secure tickets to the Commonwealth Games.”
The branch’s operating hours are from 7am – 5pm Monday to Friday and 8 am – 12 pm on Saturday, which will be mirrored by the Benchmarx showroom.
To celebrate the opening Travis Perkins donated £1,000 to Alzheimer Scotland, the business’ chosen charity.
