Bromborough Paint & Building Supplies Limited (Bromborough) has appointed Stuart Slocombe as Managing Director.

Slocombe is highly experienced within the building supplies distribution sector, with a proven track record of scaling multi-site businesses and growing market share.

He joins from Travis Perkins subsidiary, Benchmarx Kitchens & Joinery, where he was Operations Director with a remit for 150 branches nationwide. Between 2015 and 2019, Slocombe led Benchmarx’s expansion across the Northern and Western parts of the UK, opening 46 outlets over the period and transforming Benchmarx’s presence in the region to a strongly profitable position.

Prior to Benchmarx, Slocombe held senior strategic roles with Jewson and Cemex, devising practices for pricing, sales, marketing, product development and category management in each.

Slocombe joins Bromborough’s leadership team, following a recent management buy-out, and will be working with Guiseppe Alfonso, John Ferrington and Dan Peacock, to drive the business forward and capitalise on the opportunities to extend Bromborough’s geographic distribution with new branch openings and complementary acquisitions.
