The plans by the HVAC merchant follows the opening last month of a new 22,000ft2 facility on Tinsley Park Close in Sheffield, just off junction 34 on the M1. The branch is managed by Lee Burgin who joined the company this year after 22 years with BSS.

SBS High Wycombe is due to open in November within Wye Business Park in the village of Wooburn Green. The branch is just off the A4094 which can be accessed by junction 3 on the M40.

Michael House, who has over 27 years of knowledge within the industry, will be the new branch manager. He started his career at Ashworth Frazer in High Wycombe, before moving to BSS where he started in the warehouse team and progressed to branch manager.

The new year will bring the official opening of SBS Cambridge in the village of Swavesey. It will be managed by Sandeep Uppal, former key account manager at BSS.
