Sussex and Kent BM and tool hire specialist, Parker Building Supplies, has launched an in-branch initiative to celebrate 40 years in business and raise funds for a deserving charity.
Established in 1984, Parker Building Supplies has now unveiled a radio channel for customers and staff, all as part of its 40-year anniversary celebrations. The new station aims to highlight key initiatives, such as its charitable endeavours, as well as covering local stories plus events and news of interest to customers.
The 40th anniversary celebrations kicked off with a customer and supplier event at the Moy Avenue branch in Eastbourne, offering food, music from the Fix Street team, special offers and lots of freebies.
“Parker Building Supplies has been established since 1984, and now four decades on we know our customers really well. Our new in-branch radio channel helps celebrate this milestone while providing a novel way of entertaining and communicating news with all our staff, customers and suppliers. We were delighted to welcome customers to our celebrations and raise even more funds for Teenage Cancer Trust too.” said Branch Manager Matt Jenner, seen here cutting the ribbon.
Parker Building Supplies is now owned by the Independent Builders Merchant Group and is one of the largest independent builder’s merchants in the South East, with more than 450 colleagues working across 20+ locations.
