Travis Perkins has been appointed by British housebuilder Crest Nicholson as the sole supplier of building materials for its southwest region.

The Travis Perkins regional sales team in Cardiff will be responsible for every order and enquiry while procuring, delivering and administering a wide range of materials to facilitate the construction of more than 500 new homes in 2013.

In addition to the supply of building materials, Travis Perkins will also be supplying effective waste management to Crest Nicholson, which will involve the cleansing of pallets and waste from each site, providing significant environmental benefits.

Wynne Phillips, area director for Travis Perkins South West, said: “The contract we have in place with Crest Nicholson is the first of its kind for the sales office and testament to the team’s willingness to provide bespoke solutions to meet any customer need.

“The strength of the Travis Perkins Group also means we have access to other leading brands which can meet Crest Nicholson’s broader requirements and we can work with them as their business needs grow.”
