Multi-channel trade retailer Screwfix is to officially open its milestone 400th store in Hinckley on 14 May on Apex Court. The new branch will create an additional 12 jobs and is part of the company’s ongoing expansion plans.
Screwfix’s new Hinckley Store Manager Lee Cook, is proud of the contribution the new store has made to employment figures in the region. “We’ve created 12 brand new vacancies and have employed local people from around the Hinckley area. Our new team includes people of all ages and levels of experience, but the most important requirement is that they have the right attitude and can offer superb customer service. Everyone here is really looking forward to the store opening.”
Jeff Penman of Tungsten Properties Ltd and Developer of the building comments: “We’re delighted to have Screwfix move into the final phase of development at Tungsten Park. Screwfix will complete a 45 unit scheme, who will be joining national operators KFC, Subway and HSS Hire. Hinckley is a growing town with a great trade presence and we’re confident that with the introduction of Screwfix it will help tradesmen grow their businesses.”
