Premier has moved its Northampton branch to a bigger stockholding facility in Stanton Cross, Wellingborough. The premises features a 4180m2 warehouse with a capacity for more than 4,000 pallets of substrate.
The Wellingborough site will also house a Schelling FK6 plastic and composite panel saw, a Cauhe GH 366 heavy-duty guillotine and a Streibig saw to enhance Premier’s ability to cut products such as Plexiglas, Foamalux, ACM, Marlon FSX etc. to customer requirements.
The new branch is the latest in a number of significant investments at Premier aimed at improving and enhancing the merchant’s service offering to UK-based customers – in 2021 Premier opened a new branch in Haydock, servicing the North West of the country and recently expanded its operations in Glasgow.
Chris Stanyon, Premier operations director, said: “The new Wellingborough site is a significant investment and demonstrates Premier’s commitment to the future. Not only does it improve and enhance our ability to service customers both locally and around the UK, it has also created a number of local job opportunities. It also has state-of-the-art meeting facilities and electric car charging points, which, given the site’s proximity to major road networks, means that it will become a hub for some of Premier’s commercial activity.”
The new site is located close to the M1, A45 and A14, and is part of a £1bn development for Northamptonshire that will see 3,650 new homes and community facilities and the creation of around 3,000 new jobs.
