What’s New At Henshaws?

Henshaws Move To Trafford Park

In 38 years, we had moved premises just once to the location in Thomas Street, Stretford. We have since outgrown that branch and the time was right for further expansion.

We at Henshaws are delighted to announce that our Stretford branch has moved to new premises at Second Avenue, Trafford Park, Manchester. Our new branch has twice the yard space, 3 times the warehouse space and 5 times the Trade Counter and Office space that we previously enjoyed. You will still have the same fantastic service you currently receive from our experienced team along with competitive pricing. However, we are now able to carry a much greater range of stock.

Feel free to have a look through the picture reel on the right to see the exciting progress that has been made as we redevelop the new site to welcome our valued customers and suppliers.

Updates to our Fleet

As part of our continued commitment to operate with as little impact on the environment as possible, we have invested in a fleet of new wagons with modern Euro 6 engines. These engines are the most environmentally friendly on the market with vastly reduced CO2 emissions compared to older models. This also means Henshaws are ready for the roll out of the Manchester Green Air Zone with a modern fleet that complies with the requests set on in the Manchester Green Air Plan. The new wagons also help our customers with new crane off-load systems providing a better reach on site to help customer store product on site more carefully.

Henshaws Open Rochdale Branch

Henshaws are proud to announce the opening of our second branch.

Formerly trading as R&M Roofing & Building Supplies, this business has been serving the Rochdale community with roofing and building products for over 40 years. We are delighted to have been offered the opportunity to continue this fantastic work.

Our new Rochdale branch has greatly increased our capacity for serving our customers. We currently have 5 crane offload wagons, 3 vans and 5 forklift trucks, as well as increased yard space for holding more product stock. Combined with our Stretford branch, we will have a much wider reach for new customers, as well as servicing our existing ones with our increased capacity.

The Rochdale branch will trade as Henshaws Roofing & Building Supplies.

Henshaws Joins BMF

We are proud to announce that Henshaws have joined the Builders Merchants Federation.

The BMF are the UK’s No. 1 trade association in the building material supplies sector. Their support for merchants has been invaluable during the Covid-19 crisis by liaising directly with government Ministers at the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy. The result is clear guidance on how and when we can open, what risk assessments are required and we how we implement safe working practices. More recently, the BMF have provided guidance in the lead-up to Brexit. Indeed, the BMF team remained at work late on Christmas Eve to review the Brexit agreement and sent out briefing notes to members. This, in turn, ensures we are best placed to guide our customers through any changes that may need to be made.

Armatools, Access Equipment & Drainage

We now stock a wide range of tools, which can be found in our new Trade Counter. Visit the Armatool page for more information.

We have also introduced a new range of products including Access Equipment and Drainage.
