National Merchant, SIG Roofing, has opened a new branch in the North West, relocating its Leyland branch to Bamber Bridge, closer to its Preston customer base and with easier access to the M6, M61 and M65 northern motorway network.

The new branch, which officially opened on September 17th, comprises a unit providing offices and a warehouse covering 12,000 sq ft. as well as a spacious, secure yard area.

The official opening event saw suppliers carry out product demonstrations all day, with food and giveaways for all visitors.

The manager, Andrew Hinchliffe, has managed the company’s Leyland branch for the past five years and has led the move to these new premises.

“The new Bamber Bridge branch has taken in an increased level of stock to service our roofing customers, and the refit has resulted in improved merchandising, ensuring that all our roofing products are easy for customers to view. We’d like to thank all the suppliers, colleagues and industry partners for their support in making the opening day a success.”
