Trade kitchen and joinery specialist Howdens is planning to boost its portfolio in the UK by 30 new depots this year.
The group, which this morning reported a slight dip in UK sales, said it planned to open around 30 new depots in the UK, 10 in France and five in the Republic of Ireland.
It will also be refurbishing around 80 older UK depots.
Chief executive Andrew Livingston said: “The group has continued to perform well in the first four periods of 2023 against record prior year comparatives. We have good momentum in the business and our customers remain busy.
“We are on track with our plans for 2023 while mindful of the second half weighting of our sales, which includes our all-important peak trading period. Our kitchen and joinery markets are large and attractive, and we are continuing to invest in our future growth through our successful strategic initiatives.”
