Eurocell Building Plastics has opened a new depot in Abingdon, its first in Oxfordshire. The opening represents a significant achievement for Eurocell as it means it now has at least one depot in every county in England, with more than 80 nationwide.

Warren Haworth, EBP southern regional manager, said: "The key strength of Abingdon is its location. It offers customers quick access to our products without having to drive through the heavy traffic congestion of Oxford.

"Many of our contractors and installers prefer to collect early morning on their way to site, when traffic in the city is at its worst, and the fact we are still only minutes away from Oxford will save them a huge amount of time."

The Abingdon depot, which will create two jobs, is based in a newly built complex on Nuffield Way, close to other major trade outlets. The depot will offer trade and DIY customers' local availability of the entire range of 3,800-plus EBP products.

Mr Haworth said: "The new depot will provide a really valuable service to customers in the Oxford area, and represents Eurocell's confidence in the strength of the depot network to be replicated across the country. There are a huge amount of customers within minutes of Abingdon and we are expecting this depot to become a one stop shop for all their building plastic needs."

The depot will stock the full range of products including PVC-u roofline, guttering, fascias and soffits along with a range of conservatory roofs, composite doors, hand tools and garage doors.
