The company has moved from the Cwmdu Industrial Estate on Carmarthen Road to a new three‑acre site on Upper Fforest Way in Llansamlet, opening to customers earlier this week.
Easier access for trades near the M4
The new location sits close to the M4, which the firm says will make it easier for tradespeople to reach jobs across Swansea and the wider region. The move brings all of the company’s services — including its Benchmarx Kitchens showroom and tool and equipment hire — onto one site.
Eight new jobs as part of expansion
Travis Perkins confirmed that its existing Swansea team has transferred to the new branch, with eight additional roles created as part of the relocation.
Regional Director Mackenzie Hallett said the move strengthens the company’s presence in the city.
“We have a proud history of serving our customers in and around Swansea and this latest development takes our offering to the next level.”
Larger stock range and extended facilities
The new branch carries more than 25,000 products, including timber, plasterboard, insulation, bricks, blocks, landscaping materials and decorating supplies. It offers Click & Collect, free delivery and opens from 7am to 5pm Monday to Friday, and 8am to noon on Saturdays.
£2,000 donation to Alzheimer’s Society
As part of the relocation, the company has donated £2,000 to Alzheimer’s Society, its chosen charity.
Hallett said the charity is “close to the hearts” of staff across the business.
Travis Perkins operates more than 550 branches nationwide and is the UK’s largest supplier of building materials to the construction industry.
