Hyndburn Homes Repairs, one of the biggest direct works organisations in the area has entered into a partnership with Jewson Builders Merchant to operate a stores depot at its Altham headquarters.

David Cross, Operations Manager for Hyndburn Homes Repairs said: "Jewson has successfully tendered to operate the stores function for Hyndburn Homes Repairs to enable the repair and maintenance of Hyndburn Homes housing stock in the area. The newly refurbished stores facility recently commenced operation."


Previously Hyndburn Homes Repairs operated its own in-house stores system but the new Jewson operation will create greater financial efficiencies for the company as well as delivering a better service to Hyndburn Homes customers.

A spokesperson for Jewson said: "We are delighted to partner with Hyndburn Homes Repairs. Jewson has experience of providing a store solution partnership with many social housing organisations and we looks forward to sharing best practice with Hyndburn Homes Repairs."
