A NEW purpose-built site in Stratton Business Park, Bude, has been is to house Bradfords Building Supplies and create several new jobs for the area.

The site will include a specialist plumbing and heating store and will stock an extensive range of building materials, landscaping, roofing, ironmongery, decorating and timber products for the trade and general public.

Bradfords has been an established company for more than 245 years.

This new development will not only allow the firm to expand its network in the South West and improve the service it delivers to their customers, it will also offer opportunities for local people with the opening up of new jobs.

It is hoped that the new site will be completed and open to the public in the summer.

David Young, Bradford’s Building Supplies managing director said: “I am delighted that work at the Bude site is progressing so positively.

“We cannot wait to open to the public and offer our great range of products and services.

“2016 looks set to be really exciting year for Bradfords with new stores opening in Avonmouth and Willand already.”
