I want to leave a review for Dave, an EH Smith driver from the Longbridge branch. I had a delivery from another building supply and they dumped plaster board and plywood on my drive and drove off. Dave stopped and seen i was struggling to pick this up as i am elderly and he picked all this up for me and placed in my house. I just want to say thank you to my knight in shining armour for all your help.

I am a landscaper and use the place a lot , it's open early has a big range in stock and a lot more that can be ordered in 🤓
The staff behind the counter always put me right and are helpful friendly and on the ball.
The lads out in the yard never let me down and load quickly. If you need it delivered order early as it they normally take a few days.
