MEMBER NEWS Continued expansion for Pochin


Leicestershire-based independent plumbing and heating supplier Pochin has opened two new outlets in Northamptonshire, creating six new jobs. Three jobs have initially been


created at the new trade counter on Linnell Way, Kettering, and three posts at Heathfield Way, in Kingsheath, Northampton. The new openings follow a year


on from Leicester-headquartered Pochin’s first branch to open in Northamptonshire, at Corby. The product mix and stock


profile at both Kettering’s 3,000sq ft premises and Northampton’s 5,000sq ft branch service the daily requirements of the local professional plumbing and heating installers, delivered by leading customer service standards. Pochin has been growing


steadily in recent years, opening trade counters and acquiring existing businesses in the East and West Midlands. Forecast turnover in 2017 is in excess of £24m and its total staff across trade counters and bathroom and AGA showrooms is now 113. Pochin’s Managing Director, David


Pochin, said: “Corby has proved to be an excellent move for our business

and installers have been very receptive to our customer service-led approach delivered by experienced and knowledgeable staff.


“Opening in Kettering and Northampton is a logical expansion as we extend the business southwards. Elsewhere, further


branch openings are planned, with Mansfield scheduled to open in December and more in the planning stages for 2018.”
