Bradfords Building Supplies has marked the completion of its £1m building programme with an opening ceremony led by the Mayor of Taunton Deane at its new-look branch in Taunton, Somerset.
The work has provided much-improved facilities for both customers and staff, and the extended services now on offer at the branch have created new job opportunities in the local area.

Bradfords md Dennis Smith said: "We are delighted that the Mayor could join us to officially open the new-look outlet to give it a sense of occasion. Taunton was in dire need of updating in order to achieve the high level of service and product choices our valued customers expect from the Bradfords brand. As a commercial business it was important to keep trading with minimum disruption to our customers and therefore the works were carried out in three phases."

This included the formation of a new timber store and the refurbishment of the main building, including offices, a canteen and self serve area.

Other changes include a new indoor patio display showing an extensive range of slabs, block paving fencing and garden furniture, as well as a new sales office displaying product literature.
