Screwfix has opened its 800th store today [13 July] in Bourton Industrial Park, Gloucestershire, creating 12 jobs in the local community.
Alongside this opening, newly recruited staff at the store will have the opportunity to participate in the retailer’s apprenticeship scheme, joining the already 850 apprentices currently training across the business.
Furthermore, to mark this milestone, the store was opened with a launch event, with colleagues and senior representatives from Screwfix, including operations and property director, Scott Parsons and managing director for UK and Ireland, Max Britten.
At the launch, Scott said: “We know how busy our customers are and how important it is to find a Screwfix store close to site.
“Today marks a huge milestone for Screwfix in opening our 800th store and our ambition to open 1,000 stores across the UK and ROI.
“Our target of 80 new stores this financial year will ensure there is a Screwfix nearby for busy tradespeople, whilst also having a positive impact on local communities, creating more than 800 new jobs.”
