"We noticed that many of the products that our customers use on a daily basis have limited stock availability in the South West.

"With Briarwood Supplies, everything that is needed is stocked, on the ground, available to collect within minutes.

"Opening our own dedicated supplies outlet providing easy access to both the trade and the general public seemed like the next logical step for the Briarwood group.”

There are also a large range of factory seconds available too. The store is now open to customers and is taking orders by phone or email, for delivery and collection.
