NEW WARKWORTH STORE NOW OPEN

PlaceMakers new Warkworth opened in September, which, combined with its store in Silverdale provides a strong and supportive footprint in the North Auckland and Rodney area

The PlaceMakers team are all about putting customers first says John Gair, PlaceMakers Northern Hub Manager. “We want to continue to deliver maximum value and outstanding customer service every day.  We have been servicing customers in this area via our Silverdale Branch and the creation of a footprint in Warkworth sincreases our service levels and provides trade customers in the area with a call-in option. The goal is to ensure that, ultimately, nobody is easier to do business with than PlaceMakers.”

Located at 64 Morrison Drive, the new PlaceMakers Warkworth branch is open six days a week to service both trade customers and the general public. The 1815m² trade hall and drive-thru with yard, stocks a comprehensive trade and serious DIY focused range including building products, fastenings and consumables.  Partnering with the Silverdale and Whangarei branches, Warkworth will be able to service customers interior categories such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and wardrobes.  PlaceMakers ‘special orders’ service also enables an almost limitless choice of product.

We’re proud to have recruited a fantastic team of local talent led by Branch Manager Lathem Broadstock, who has been with PlaceMakers for the last eight years and is committed to providing an exceptional customer experience.

The locally built structure is constructed using a pre-engineered lightweight building and has been designed and built with trade customers and the environment in mind. Putting the customer at the heart of the design, the layout allows both customers and team members to gather materials quickly and comfortably in a more modern and accessible environment.

Features include:

• 1815m² trade hall area with an expansive and easy access drive-thru.
• 65 carparks, with more undercover in the drive-thru, to minimise delays.
• Low racking design provides better sight lines which means easier visibility of product.

PlaceMakers is committed to the environment and sustainable building practices. The new purpose-built store utilizes ‘green’ building initiatives, such as daylight harvesting, energy efficient lighting and water-saving systems all designed to minimise PlaceMakers environmental footprint.

As part of our commitment to the trade, the branch includes all PlaceMakers key Trade Service offerings, such as its Service Promise, new Smart Delivery system, Trade loyalty program and much more. Lathem says ‘We know that delivering in full and on time is the key to a successful project for our customers, we are committed to making sure that these core trade lines are always in-stock. We will be measuring our success in this area and we will get this right, it’s a priority.’
