Champion Timber says it is excited to announce the opening of its tenth branch in Vickers Drive, Weybridge.
On Tuesday June 28, the new branch opened its doors for a day of celebration, offering customers complimentary refreshments from a vintage style posh burger van and free goody bags.
The new branch carries large stocks and vast ranges of both softwood and hardwood timber, plywood, MDF sheets and mouldings, decking, flooring and much more. In addition, Champion Timber can offer a full cutting service.
Special raffle tickets will be available over the first week of opening with the first prize being a VIP driving experience at Mercedes-Benz Brooklands. Proceeds from the sale of the tickets will be donated to Shooting Star Chase, a children’s hospice charity caring for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families.
Visitors also had the opportunity to meet and sponsor yard sales manager Kraig Seymour, who is taking part in two challenges over the summer to raise extra funds for Shooting Star Chase. Kraig will be abseiling down the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth and doing a parachute jump.
After officially opening the branch,Kevin, Kraig and the team at the new Weybridge branch were on hand to answer any customer questions, while the Champion’s Angels, a fleet of branded trikes, were handing out branded goodies and available for event attendees to have their photo taken with them.
Mike Bird, director of marketing at Champion Timber, said: “We are all very proud of our brand and opening our tenth branch is a great achievement, and would like to thanks all tradespeople who attended our special event on June 28 to see the great variety of unrivalled quality timber sold by Champion. There will be special discounts on in-branch for the whole week with usual trading times of 7.30am – 5.00pm in operation.”
