BUILDING work for a new Jewsons builders’ merchants has started on a site in Andover’s West Portway Industrial Estate with completion expected early summer 2009.
Jewsons are expected to combine the company’s two current outlets within Andover into a single, easily accessible new depot.
It’s hoped the new West Portway site will ease current congestion caused by customers and deliveries visiting the two separate sites which have difficult access within housing areas.
The site will comprise a new 20,000 square feet depot with a large yard.
Craigard Investments is the company behind the development.
“When the site became available Craigard immediately recognised the business benefits that it could bring locally,” said Paul Foster, Craigard managing partner.
“We are delighted to be associated with the project which offers environmental benefits by both easing traffic congestion and relocating a trade use to an industrial estate location.”
