Exeter has become the home of the latest Selco Builders Warehouse branch to open.
This takes their total number of branches to 73 and strengthens their presence in the south-west of England, where there are already two branches in Bristol.
The official launch of the Exeter branch saw Selco continue their commitment to supporting the local communities in which they operate by donating £3,000 to good causes.
They awarded £1,000 to Jay’s Aim, which funds defibrillators and CPR training for community groups across the south-west, through their Community Heroes scheme.
The charity was founded in 2018 by the family of James Osborne who died at the age of 28 following a fatal cardiac arrest while on a run with what was subsequently revealed to be an undiagnosed hereditary heart condition.
In addition, Selco committed £2,000 to their nominated charity Cancer Research UK.
The official opening also saw a special darts event where customers and colleagues were given the chance to play nine darts challenges against two big names from the sport – rising star and world number 16 Ryan Searle and former BDO World Champion and current Sky Sports pundit Mark Webster.
Two of Exeter City’s promotion heroes will rub shoulders with fans at a special event at their new branch in the city today.
Selco Builders Exeter will host a meet and greet with captain Matt Jay and defender Jack Sparkes between 4.30pm and 6pm.
Fans will be given the chance to get autographs and have pictures with the players, who have been influential figures in the Grecians successful promotion push.
Carine Jessamine, marketing director at Selco, said: “We opened our new branch in Exeter last week and we couldn’t have picked a better time to do so.”
