Southern Sheeting is expanding into the Midlands, with the opening of a new distribution depot and customer service centre in Loughborough.

The new hub, which will be branded as Southern Sheeting Midlands, stocks a range of roofing, cladding and decking products, and serves tradespeople and the general public. Customers can visit the depot for personalised advice from the company’s experts.

Tony Hobbs, Managing Director of Southern Sheeting Midlands, said: “Southern Sheeting is enjoying a period of growth, making this the ideal time to enhance our geographical reach. We can now accept orders from customers anywhere in England, then supply what they need when they need it, without compromising our level of care and expertise.

“Loughborough, with its central location in the Midlands, vibrant business economy and strong transport links forms the cornerstone of our expansion plans.”

Southern Sheeting also has two sites in East Grinstead, West Sussex. It will continue to invest in its Loughborough branch with the addition of new product lines, underpinned by a quality service to support customers working on industrial, agricultural and domestic projects.

The company has big plans for growth. It has already hired a number of new employees and plans to recruit more, creating career opportunities and boosting the Loughborough economy. 

Hobbs added: “We are a family business with more than 40 years of experience built on unrivalled stockholding, industry leading quote turnaround times, product knowledge and first name service. We can’t wait to integrate ourselves into the Loughborough community and start working with local tradespeople and homeowners.”
