Over the last few months, Unhooked has been supporting leading national builders’ merchant Jewson has opened the doors to its newly refurbished branch at Bridgwater, introducing its very first ‘Branch of the Future’ concept.
Proud to partner the trades, the new Jewson branch presents a significant milestone on its transformation journey to bring the UK’s hard-working professional tradespeople what they need to grow their own businesses and to become the leading builders’ merchant in the UK.
As part of its parent company STARK Building Materials UK’s ‘Trust in Better’ strategy, Jewson is implementing a comprehensive investment programme to optimise its branch network across the nation, including major refurbishments, like Bridgwater, and new purpose-built distribution facilities.
The Bridgwater branch in Somerset is the first to be totally transformed, and in the new Jewson brand identity, which was recently unveiled to nearly 3,000 people at Jewson Live On Tour, the company’s industry engagement event that is currently being brought to customers at regional venues across the UK, until mid-June.
Customers, colleagues and local dignitaries were invited to take a first look at the newly refurbished branch when it officially opened on 28th May 2024, with Jewson offering on-the-day giveaways, supplier trade deals, new account offers and free food and drink.
Jewson is proud to partner the trades and that also means it is committed to being a positive and active part of the communities it services. The company was delighted to announce at the opening of Jewson Bridgwater it will now be the main sponsor of the Western Football League. Formed in 1892, the league has 42 member clubs covering Bristol, Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, parts of Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. The Western Football League’s chairman, John Pool, officially opened the Jewson Bridgwater branch with a ribbon cutting, with several players from Bridgwater United FC attending the event. The Jewson Western Football League sponsorship starts as member clubs get ready for the new season.
As well as inviting media to the official opening event at Bridgwater and facilitating media interviews, the Unhooked team also worked with the Western Football League to announce details of the sponsorship. There was over 40 pieces of media coverage across national, regional and trade media.
