NATIONWIDE electrical appliance retailer Marks Electrical, which specialises in delivering home appliances free-of-charge, has expanded its delivery service to Scotland.
The company which started in 1987, buying and selling second-hand cookers out of a garage in Leicester now has a 200,000 sq ft warehouse which it operates nationwide deliveries from.
Its next step in expansion is to begin servicing key areas across Scotland. As opposed to most major UK high-street retailers, the team will work to facilitate delivery free-of-charge for customers in Scotland.
In order to make this possible, all deliveries are carried out by the company’s own fleet of vehicles and drivers who are trained in the installation of major domestic appliances.
Commenting on the expansion, Mark Smithson, CEO of Marks Electrical said:
“This is an exciting move for Marks Electrical, we know there is opportunity in Scotland and we’re looking forward to our expansion into the country. Our unique business model means that we can offer customers in Scotland more than they would traditionally expect from high-street retailers.
“Our free delivery service should be a game changer for customers in Scotland. We are able to help customers avoid extortionate delivery fees through the utilisation of our own fleet and drivers which are all trained in installation – no third-parties. It’s a win-win for customers in Scotland!
“We’ve invested over £100,000 in additional vehicles, adopted new shift-patterns and meticulously planned for the move to ensure customers can get our products when they need them and without added costs or stress.”
The areas serviced initially will include Edinburgh, Glasgow, East Lothian, East Renfrewshire, Midlothian, North Lanarkshire, and Renfrewshire.
Initially, deliveries will leave the Leicester warehouse every Wednesday or Sunday until demand increases to fill trucks on a daily basis, where next-day deliveries will commence.
The first delivery will leave the Marks Electrical warehouse to reach Scotland on Wednesday 6th April.
