Roofing supplies business to create new jobs following expansion to second site

A roofing supplies business which set up its first store earlier this year has created seven jobs with the launch of its second location in Exeter, a news report in the local business media has been able to suggest.

Roofbase has opened an 800 sq ft shop, with a 13,500 sq ft warehouse and a 6,000 sq ft yard in Marsh Barton Trading Estate.

It follows the launch of its first outlet in Swansea in February. There are plans to open multiple sites across the UK by the end of 2018, with the next one expected to open in February 2018.

The Exeter branch of Roofbase will be staffed by Lee House as general manager and Darren Woodcock as sales manager, who is also responsible for sourcing a suitable site in Plymouth.

The launch of the new site also coincides with the creation of a further three jobs at the original Roofbase store in Swansea.

Steve Lloyd, managing director of Roofbase, said: "Swansea is progressing quicker than we had expected and any doubts that we had about the viability of the business have been dispelled by its performance.

"Marsh Barton Trading Estate is the obvious place to set up in Exeter – it’s where all the tradespeople go for their supplies and it’s the perfect location.

"We are going to continue to set up sites in the places where I can find the right people to provide the service which is key to our company’s identity."
