A BRADFORD builders’ merchant has marked its 15-year anniversary with a day of celebration.

Selco Builders Warehouse, based on Tong Street, first opened its doors in 2008 and is today one of the company’s 75 UK branches.

To mark the milestone, Selco held a day of celebration which included a visit from the Lord Mayor of Bradford Gerry Barker who met customers and colleagues.

A charity raffle and cake sale were held in aid of Cancer Research UK while there was a special darts competition held for customers and a trade day supported by a number of Selco’s suppliers.

Bradford branch manager Dave Penney said: “We’ve been a big part of the local community for 15 years and it was great to be able to mark the occasion with an in-branch celebration event.

“We wanted our customers and colleagues – who have both been a big part of the branch’s success – to be able to celebrate with us and it was fantastic to welcome the Lord Mayor along too.

“We’ve had a fantastic 15 years in Bradford serving local tradespeople going about their jobs in and around the city and we look forward to many more years being at the heart of the community.”
