A leading timber and building merchant has unveiled its new Morecambe branch following a £250,000 investment.

Haldane Fisher Morecambe, located at the former Broadoak Home and Garden Centre premises on White Lund, was officially opened as part of a celebratory event attended by staff, partners, customers and leading local figures.

Haldane Group serves both trade and the general public, with 22 branches across England, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man supplying 13,000 products across 800 brands.

"We are delighted to open our new branch in Morecambe, further strengthening our presence in Lancashire," said Simon Walling, managing director.

“This revamped location reflects our commitment to providing convenient access to top-quality products and services and we are pleased to have now opened our doors to the public.

“This follows the refurbishment of our branch in Garstang, which experienced a £600,000 redevelopment to increase the product range and enhance the ironmongery and door offering.

“The whole team are very much looking forward to welcoming customers from Morecambe and further afield over the coming months.” 

The new Morecambe branch will sell timber supplies, landscaping materials and tools, for both trade professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

Haldane Group, a family-owned business since its formation in 1946, aims to spend £50m on its group-wide growth strategy over the next five years.
