The opening further strengthens Selco's presence in the south-east of England, and that will grow further with the launch of the Rochester branch next month.
Howard Luft, Selco's Chief Executive, said: "We are delighted to have strengthened the Selco offering by opening in yet another new area.
"Our philosophy is to bring Selco’s unique offering to as many tradespeople as possible around the UK and provide a one-stop shop for the trade.

"London and the south-east have become a true heartland for Selco and we have further plans to open more branches in this and other areas of the country during the next year and beyond.
"As a genuine multi-channel builders merchant, we want to give tradespeople the chance to get their building materials in the most convenient way possible to them, whether that be through branches or through our growing digital offering"
The official launch of the Canning Town branch saw Selco continue its commitment to supporting the local communities in which it operates by donating £3,000 to good causes.
Amy's Space, a community volunteer group operating in and around Canning Town to support homeless and other financially vulnerable individuals, received £1,000 while the local activities of Selco's nominated charity Global’s Make Some Noise benefitted from £2,000 worth of support.
With hundreds of trade brands always in stock, Selco’s 71 UK branches are firmly focused on helping tradespeople complete their jobs as quickly and effectively as possible.
