We are pleased to announced that Brewers has acquired three new branches in the Midlands from TDS – Derby Stores Road, Leicester Freemen’s Common and Burton-Upon-Trent. The new properties extend our offering in the Midlands, adding to existing branches in Leicester and Derby.
Throughout their years in operation, TDS has built up a wealth of knowledge and were originally set up to rival the Brewers offering to both trade and consumers. Previously acquired by Travis Perkins when they took over Buck and Hickman, the TDS offering grew further and since, TDS has been a main source of decorating materials for local trade. As part of the acquisition, all of the existing branch managers will remain; Sarah Moseley looking after the Burton-Upon-Trent and Derby branches and Lynne Mount managing the Leicester branch. Both managers will be keeping on all members of their experienced team of employees, who have an extensive knowledge and understanding of the decorating supplies industry.
All branches stock a complete range of decorating materials and the Brewers acquisition means they are now able to offer the trade a larger variety of branded products, including Dulux, Crown and the Brewers paint range, Albany.
Stan Adams, Commercial Director at Brewers, comments: “We’re delighted that Sarah, Lynne and their teams at the three branches are joining us; they bring knowledge that is second-to-none. Over the last 12 months, we’ve felt that there was an opportunity for greater branch coverage in the Midlands; undoubtedly a number of our present customers will find it useful to have additional pick up points and we look forward to welcoming lots of new customers in 2012.”
