The new site is three times larger than the previous location and includes a brand-new Benchmarx Kitchens & Joinery showroom.

An East London branch of the leading UK builders’ merchant has tripled in size following its relocation, further expanding its offering to local tradespeople.

Travis Perkins has opened its new Leytonstone branch on Joseph Ray Road having made the two-and-a-half-mile switch from its previous home in Stratford on Rick Roberts Way.

The new branch is an impressive near-three acres in size - more than three times as big as its previous location - and also includes a brand new Benchmarx Kitchens & Joinery showroom, as well as an expanded Hire service.

Travis Perkins Leytonstone, which was officially opened last week, offers tradespeople a large landscaping range, as well as all heavyside and lightside products. This includes a wide range of timber, insulation, aggregates, bricks and blocks.

Daniel McCafferty, Regional Director at Travis Perkins, said: “At our previous location in Stratford we were a popular branch, but the move to this new site opens a much greater opportunity to service tradespeople in the heart of East London.

“The increase in space means the quantity and variety of products we have on site give our customers a fantastic choice, as well as adding a brand new Benchmarx Kitchens showroom which now makes us the perfect place for tradespeople to get all their essential materials all under one roof.

“The dedicated team from the previous branch have all moved over, as well as creating new positions to take us to a team of 34, and our excellent colleagues will continue to provide the outstanding customer service that Travis Perkins is well known for.”

The branch is open from 7am–5pm Monday to Friday and 8am–12pm on a Saturday. The new Benchmarx showroom is open from 7.30am-5pm on weekdays and 8am–12pm on a Saturday.

Daniel Rossiter, Branch Manager of Travis Perkins Leytonstone, said: “With the size of the new location it has allowed us to stock a huge range of products in great quantities to cater for the needs of all local tradespeople, whatever the scale and size of their jobs. It makes us the perfect partner for local tradespeople.”

As part of the opening, Travis Perkins also donated £1,000 to Alzheimer’s Society, the business’ nominated charity.
