STARK Group Strengthens UK Branch Network

STARK Group’s British brand, Jewson, has officially opened its newly built branch strategically located in Croydon, south of London.

The Croydon branch is built on the concept framework ‘branch of the future’, inspired by STARK Group’s successful branch models in the Nordics, Germany, and Austria. Designed with efficiency, accessibility, and customer experience at its core, the branch features an expanded range of stock-keeping units (SKUs) and a layout optimised to help tradespeople quickly find the range and availability they need.

With the opening, the Group continues to reinforce its market position in the UK through the development of purpose-built branches, regional distribution hubs and local refurbishments. These investments are tailored to meet the evolving needs of the building trade, ensuring greater product availability, improved logistics, and a more seamless customer experience.

This branch follows Jewson’s first purpose-built branch in Farnborough and its first regional distribution hub in Craigentinny. Later this year, the Group will further expand its network with the opening of another purpose-built Jewson branch in Luton, northwest of London.
