Branch Manager, Adam Sheehan, said: “This new branch is the result of huge investment and we’re looking forward to showing our new customers around and sharing our expertise and extensive product range to help them with construction projects of all types and sizes. This branch will have everything they need, when and where they need it, and will deliver them value, convenience and consistency.”
The new branch will be open from 7am to 5pm on weekdays and between 8am to 12pm on Saturdays and is located at Northedge Business Park, Alfreton Road, Derby, DE21 4BN. Customers will have greater choice when it comes to trading in-branch or online by using the Travis Perkins App.
A spokesperson said it was developed in conjunction with customers to help them save time by allowing them to check stock in their local branch and order instantly with their personal trade prices. Alternatively, customers can also use the one-hour Click & Collect service, or next-day delivery as well as a Branch Delivery Tracking Service, which gives them the best possible delivery notifications in real-time without having to make a telephone call, saving time.
