The investment adds 25,000 new items of kit to the company’s most popular 350 products made available through the service and will boost the availability of equipment from lighting towers to power tools.

Speedy has fulfilled 13,000 four-hour deliveries in the last 12 months – a 30% year-on-year increase for the service from customers.

Dan Evans, Chief Operating Officer at Speedy, said: “The growing demand for our four-hour delivery promise reflects the value it’s providing our customers, helping them to be more productive and complete projects on time by giving them quick access to essential site equipment.

“This latest investment boosts the availability of our top products throughout the UK. It provides our customers with the re-assurance that we can support them to get the job done on time, so that they can avoid costly delays to the projects they are working on.”
