R.H. Claydon had previously served the area from its Suffolk and Swindon, Wiltshire, centres, but the new location would help the company make daily deliveries to clients in Kent and Sussex, said director Ruby Claydon.
Located near the major goods artery of the A21 and with access to farming sector customers, the North Farm-based warehouse would stock a full range of tyres, from agricultural, earth-moving and goods transport vehicles to private cars and even wheelbarrows, she explained.
“Five jobs have been created by the opening of the new depot; however, we are hoping to expand and create more jobs.
“We are currently recruiting three delivery drivers,” she told the Times, adding that interested parties could email: mariusk@rhc.co.uk
The 20,000 square foot new depot, the company’s seventh, opened on January 4, increasing the company’s warehouse space by about ten per cent, to over 240,000 square feet.
