Selco Launches HSS Hire Partnership
Selco Builders Warehouse has further enhanced its reputation as a ‘one-stop shop’ for tradespeople by launching an exciting new partnership with the UK’s leading tool and equipment hire specialists.
HSS Hire has opened its first two satellite operations in Selco’s branches in Slough and Milton Keynes.
The Tottenham and Ashton-under-Lyne branches of Selco will also benefit from the hire service before the end of the year with a significant expansion to the partnership planned in 2024.
Each HSS Hire satellite desk will be found at the trade counter at Selco branches, with HSS Hire teams in place to offer specialist advice for the offering.
Howard Luft, chief executive of Selco Builders Warehouse, said: “This is a perfect partnership and an exciting development for our customers heading into 2024.
“Here at Selco, our commitment is to offer everything a tradesperson might need to go about their daily work all under one roof and the relationship we have formed with HSS Hire strengthens that proposition even further.
“At the heart of the ethos of both ourselves and HSS Hire is to offer outstanding service so it’s very much a win-win scenario for our customers.
“We are excited to have launched the partnership and look forward to it continuing for many years to come.”
Bart Murphy, director at HSS Hire, added: “We are looking to expand into strategic locations across the UK and this partnership with Selco represents an ideal chance to do that.
“There is a natural fit between the services offered by builders merchant and a tool and equipment hire specialist and we are delighted to be working in tandem with Selco to enhance the journeys for both sets of customers.”
With hundreds of trade brands always in stock, Selco’s 75 UK branches are firmly focused on helping tradespeople complete their jobs as quickly and effectively as possible.
As well as offering trade services, Selco also has a strong digital presence including Click & Deliver and Click & Collect services and a new app - as well as a ‘Dial & Deliver’ telephone service - to make life as convenient as possible for tradespeople.
