SCREWFIX is to officially open its first store in Launceston today (Thursday) on Scarne Industrial Estate.

Screwfix’s new Launceston store manager, Sam Bickley said: “We’ve created 14 brand new vacancies and have employed local people from around the Launceston area. Our new team includes people of all ages and levels of experience, but the most important requirement is that they have the right attitude and can offer superb customer service. Everyone here is really looking forward to the store opening.”

Tradesmen and DIYers are all invited to attend the store’s opening where they can also demonstrate their professional skills in a free-to-enter screw drilling competition. The fastest time wins a 40in smart TV.

Throughout the store’s launch celebration period, through the weekend until Sunday, June 12, all product ranges will carry a 10% discount among other store specific special offers.

Visit the store at Scarne Industrial Estate, Hurdon Road, Launceston, Cornwall, PL15 9DJ, Monday to Friday 7am-8pm, Saturday 8am-6pm and Sunday 10am-4pm.
