Specflue, supplier of renewable heat products and flue systems, is to open a new northern depot in West Yorkshire.
The building in Castleford will provide 20,000 square feet of warehouse space, a trade counter and ample customer parking.
The new facility has created 12 new jobs and allows Specflue to offer businesses in northern England and Scotland an improved service that equals what is already being enjoyed by its customers in the south. Through its fleet of service vehicles, it will provide a next day service between the north Midlands and the Scottish border. There are also plans to have a further base in Livingston, West Lothian, that can service most of mainland Scotland.
Since last August, Richard Tindall has been analysing the requirement and planning possible solutions, as well as project managing the implementation of this important strategic step in the company’s growth.
“This is just the start of Specflue’s presence in the north
“Over the coming months, we are intending to increase our number of service vehicles significantly. When fully rolled out, over 90% of Specflue’s customers will have access to next day deliveries via the dedicated van service. And, with all vehicles being fully equipped with tail-lifts, they are capable of delivering pretty much our full product range of renewable heating supplies.”
Nigel Kitching has been appointed as depot manager, joining the business with 25 years of warehousing and distribution experience.
