Civils & Lintels has committed more than £5 million to create four regional distribution hubs for the lintels division of the company – including new facilities in Nottinghamshire and the South East.

A new facility has been set up at Kirkby-in-Ashfield while a further site in Erith has been converted to being solely a lintels platform. Further investment has been made in sites at Bolton and Westbury in Wiltshire.

This fresh investment ensures that the business always has over £30 million of stock available to meet any needs customers may have.

Phil Sheldon, Head of Residential from Civils & Lintels, said: “This investment reflects the ambition that Civils & Lintels has as a business in the UK housing sector.

“We are already the largest distributor of steel lintels in the country and this investment will not only mean that we can continue to offer the best products, but we can also be even more efficient and flexible with our service proposition.”
