St Andrews Timber & Building Supplies strengthens partnership with HSS Hire Group

St Andrews Timber & Building Supplies has strengthened its partnership with HSS Hire Group (HSS), with the opening of a rental facility at its Edinburgh headquarters.

The firm is now able to supply tool and equipment hire at its Prestonfield branch, following the success of a similar arrangement at its West Lothian base in Livingston, which launched in November.

Open to both the public (with certain restrictions) and trade, the latest addition to the company’s offerings sees it take another step towards its target of becoming the go-to builders’ merchants, a ‘one-stop’ shop serving the east and central belt of Scotland.

Customers can hire from the HSS counter on the day if the items are in stock. If not in stock, items can be delivered direct and picked up for a small transport fee.

Welcoming the Prestonfield addition, managing director Ronnie Robinson said: “With the HSS set-up well received by our customers and working well at Livingston, we felt that introducing something similar at our Edinburgh headquarters was a natural step to take.

“We keep evolving as a business and this means that our oldest and most established branch now has the same fully rounded offering as our newest and most modern development in Livingston.”
