This investment will better support the needs of both existing and new customers with a significantly expanded product range across a retail floorspace that has tripled in size. The upgraded facilities were officially opened by Daksh Gupta, CEO of Huws Gray Group, PDM’s parent company.

Having held a presence in the town for over 25 years, PDM moved to its current location in 2006 to provide its customers a wider product range beyond its traditional ranges of above and below ground drainage products.

PDM’s Kilmarnock branch now occupies a total area of almost 1.5 acres with the interior boasting a fully open plan retail space that enjoys complete line of sight from the counter allowing the branch to offer additional stock and an extended range of drainage, plumbing, roofing, fencing, electrical and general building products.

Commenting on the relaunch, Eddie Hernon, managing director at PDM, said: “This is an incredibly exciting and significant day for the ongoing success of our Kilmarnock branch.

“The investment provides a solid foundation for success as the construction sector starts to grow once again and will enable us to provide our existing customers with a one-stop shop for a greater range of products, whilst simultaneously attracting an entirely new customer base as well.”
