DIY giant Screwfix is set to open another store in Redditch.

The new branch, on Royal Enfield Business Park, Hewell Road, has created 15 new jobs.

The Hewell Road store manager Amy Stackhouse said she is proud of the contributions the new store has made to employment figures in the region.

“We’ve created 15 new jobs and employed people from around the Redditch area," she said.

"Our new team includes people with all different levels of experience, focused on providing superb customer service to meet the needs of our busy trade customers. Everyone here is really looking forward to the store opening.”

Tradespeople and serious DIYers are being invited to attend the opening and can demonstrate their professional skills in a free-to-enter competition.

The winner will receive a 40in smart TV.

Throughout the store’s launch celebration period, from Thursday, February 1 and through the weekend until Sunday, February 4, Screwfix will offer a 10 per cent discount on all product ranges among other store specific special offers.

Mrs Stackhouse said she believes the store’s convenient location, extensive product range and ability to provide a Click & Collect service in as little as one minute from ordering, will be a real bonus to local tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts who need to get back to their jobs.

She added: “I’m confident we’ve got a great location here in Redditch. My team and I have already been getting to know local businesses and tradespeople and look forward to working with these hardworking, friendly people.”

The store opens Thursday, February 1.
