A North East home improvement supplier is creating new jobs after investing £2m in new warehousing.
Growing demand from people investing in their properties has triggered the need for extra space at Middlesbrough based MB DIY, which has enlisted Darlington’s Wharton Construction to build the site. The company has expanded substantially in recent years with its distribution footprint now taking in the North East, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and London.
Work on the 16,000sq ft building’s steel structure is now under way, next to the company’s existing warehouse, offices and retail space which Wharton built three years ago. The development will lead to around five jobs.
