SBS Glasgow coming Summer 2020!
SBS are delighted to announce the opening of our first Scottish branch this summer! SBS Glasgow will join the Smith Brothers branch network, taking the total number of locations up to 16 across England, Wales and now Scotland.
SBS Glasgow will trade from Clyde Gateway East, Glasgow’s newest business site located on the south side of London Road. The site is close to junction 2A on the M74 and is just a 10-minute drive away from Glasgow’s City centre. The ultra-modern unit consists of 16,500 SQ FT.
With over 15 years working in the industry, Scott Gilmour has been appointed as Branch Manager to assemble a team and introduce the Smith Brothers ethos of Staff, Stock and Service to Glasgow customers. Scott said, “I’m proud to be fronting the first Scottish Smith Brothers branch. I plan to make SBS Glasgow a success and will bring in the very best team to help me achieve this.”
In 2019, the business introduced a team to support Northern Ireland based customers working within the UK. The addition of SBS Glasgow means that in 2020, Smith Brothers will now support the HVAC industry across the whole of the United Kingdom.
