Murdock Builders Merchants has opened its first-ever Murdock Home Centre, in Antrim, marking a new chapter for the company.
The company says the new Murdock Home Centre represents a bold expansion for it, combining a full-service builders' merchants branch with a retail-focused space for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners. The project has created 22 new jobs in the local area and brings an extensive product range including paint and paint-mixing, doors, flooring, and a "landmark" landscaping display.
Situated at The Junction, one of Northern Ireland’s main retail and leisure destinations with over 40 stores and fast-growing footfall, the new Home Centre puts Murdock at the heart of Antrim’s busiest shopping location. For customers, it means everything for building, renovating and improving under one roof, whether trade or retail.
“This is a huge moment for Murdock and for Antrim,” said Martin Farrell, Managing Director at Murdock Builders Merchants & Home Centre. “The Junction has become a true destination for shopping and leisure, and we’re proud to add something different to the mix. Murdock Home Centre gives local homeowners, DIYers and tradespeople the convenience, expertise and product choice they’ve been asking for, while creating 22 new jobs and investing in the community.”
Paul Wilson, Branch Manager, added: “Our Builders Merchants remains the backbone of our business for trade customers, but the Home Centre is designed with the everyday customer in mind. Whether it’s paint, doors, flooring, or outdoor landscaping, it’s about giving people the inspiration and tools to improve their homes - all with Murdock’s service and know-how. Customers can literally step into ideas for transforming their gardens and living spaces.”
