Latest builders鈥� merchant to host a satellite HSS hire desk is Buttle鈥檚 in Leighton Buzzard, with its Enfield store following on next month.
By partnering with HSS, Buttle鈥檚 can provide its customers with both materials and machinery.
Buttle鈥檚 managing director Ian Church said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e delighted to partner with HSS to offer our customers the best possible choice of building supplies and a one shop solution from Buttle鈥檚. We identified a gap in the Buttle鈥檚 offer, both companies share the same service ethos, and therefore they were the obvious choice for us.鈥�
The collaboration is part of HSS Hire regional director Bart Murphy鈥檚 strategic expansion plan for the business. He said: 鈥淲e have engaged with Buttle鈥檚 in partnership to offer HSS implants in their Enfield and Leighton Buzzard branches as strategic locations on our roadmap for new stores in the UK within merchant branches.鈥�
鈥淲e are keen to work closely with Buttle鈥檚 in the future and develop the partnership as they grow and expand their branch further. We believe this is an exciting period of growth and change within Buttle鈥檚 and HSS are very happy to be on this journey with them.鈥�
Murphy is keen to tap into the builders鈥� merchant network in a bid to extend its service offering. He added: 鈥淢y main focus is to run the expansion programme across merchant sites in the UK in strategic positions and areas in the country and Leighton Buzzard will be added to our geographic locations.
鈥淗ere at HSS we believe equipment hire goes hand in hand with builders鈥� merchant offering and extending their service to offer hire will improve the customer experience where both brands can work together to provide their customers a wider range of services and enhance their customer journey.鈥�
Other builders鈥� merchants with HSS desks in them include Lords Park Royal in London and five branches of EH Smith in the midlands.
