Following an investment of around £800,000 Ipswich branch adopts the Buildbase identity in April 2007. Holden Timber joined Buildbase in July 2006. New signs are now in place to mark the new identity as Holden Buildbase and a major investment has been made to upgrade the branch.

The branch is located on a two and a half acre site at Ransomes Europark industrial estate in Ipswich. The business has always specialised in timber and sheet materials and has now become a full service builders merchant. The self-select area has been doubled to include many new product lines including a plumbing and heating counter and Hirebase.

There is also a large bathroom and kitchen showroom with around 26 displays.  Outside the yard area has been paved and a new hard landscaping area is planned for the spring ready for the warmer weather.

Manager Kayne Fletcher has 24 years’ industry experience and is supported by assistant manager, Steve Caruana. The Ipswich team of staff are extremely knowledgeable and include long-servers like Dennis Maskey in transport and sales and Paul Turner who works in the yard.
