Beesley & Fildes has opened a new £2m distribution centre in Widnes to accommodate the growth in demand for its building products and support the businesses’ 11 northwest branches.
The 4.2-acre distribution centre is a key part of Beesley & Fildes’ wider £3.2m expansion plans, enabling it to purchase and house more stock for its customers across the building, civils, and drainage market.
What’s more, to service all 11 branches, the centre has an automated bagging machine for stone and sand, along with a batching plant which will enable on-site manufacturing of various concrete products.
James Beesley, commercial director at Beesley & Fildes, said: “As we see the demand for building products continually increasing, it was vital that we broadened our in-house capabilities and operations. Plus, with our click and collect service now rolled out across each of our branches, we have an additional route to purchase.
“Through our wider expansion and distribution centre, we’re able to provide our customers with a guarantee that products will be available and delivered on time, causing zero distribution to their projects.”
