Builders’ merchant Selco Builders Warehouse is to create more than 1,000 jobs under expansion plans.
The company, part of the Grafton Group, wants to extend its branch network from 73 to 100 by the end of 2026, increasing its selling space by more than one million square feet.
It recently opened branches in Liverpool, Orpington, Canning Town, Rochester and Exeter, and will have a presence in Cheltenham and Peterborough over the coming months.
It said locations have been identified for more branches to open over the next four years, including a first site in Scotland.
Chief executive Howard Luft said: “This is an exciting time for all connected with Selco, and the latest plans for expansion will have economic benefits right across the UK.”
Each new branch will have at least 30 vacancies with other roles created at the company’s support centre in Birmingham.
