Major improvements are afoot for two of BSS Industrial's
specialist brands - BSS Drainage and Havelock Controls.
Thanks to the capabilities of BSS Industrial's National
Distribution Centre at Magna Park in Leicestershire, the stock
profile and delivery service for these two industry leading brands
is now second to none.
An extensive range of Polypipe Terrain's Solvent Weld and Push
Fit above ground drainage products have been added to the already
comprehensive stock profile of BSS Drainage. In addition, Havelock
Controls has increased the range of products it offers from leading
manufacturers such as Honeywell, Sontay and Johnson Controls. By
holding stock at Magna Park, as well as keeping it within branches,
products from both brands are now available to contractors on much
shorter lead times - a 24 hour turnaround.
Tom Wilson, Business Development Director for BSS Industrial,
said: "The brands within BSS Industrial are a vital part of the
specialist service that we offer to customers and the expertise
which sets us apart from other suppliers. By having stock for BSS
Drainage and Havelock based at Magna Park we can meet demand and
continue to grow.
"Our enhanced availability of the Solvent Weld and Push Fit
ranges from Polypipe Terrain is something that is not offered
elsewhere and is part of our strategy to support the rapid growth
of our drainage brand. With the development of the Havelock
interactive website and new trade counter facilities in Stoke and
Edinburgh, we have seen sales of controls increase by 60%. The
ability to offer all these key products either direct to site or
through next day delivery is an important part of capitalising on
our successes and improving the service we provide to
customers."
Havelock supplies controls, metering and spares products within
the BSS Industrial network of branches, supporting its offering
with a local presence and local delivery service. BSS Drainage was
launched in November 2008 to offer an extensive range of products
and a specialist service, under one roof. BSS Drainage products are
now available from Chessington, Reading, Smethwick, Manchester,
Bristol and Canning Town with a further 12 outlets planned by the
end of the year.
