Their most recent acquisition comprises a brand new unit at Lamberts Park on the well established North Farm Industrial Estate north of Tunbridge Wells town centre.
Simon Blaxill of Kent Blaxill commented “The key to acquiring good sites for Kent Blaxill is firstly to identify them but equally as important is to then conclude a deal with speed. The relationship we have developed with Fenn Wright is to do exactly that with each knowing what is needed to get a deal over the line. Honesty and trust are key to all being able to achieve the best outcome which is a relationship Kent Blaxill seek to achieve with all its professional partners. We consider Fenn Wright to be part of our own team.
Kent Blaxill has a model for its decorative branch expansion with a view to establishing a 30 branch network in the near future. Supplying largely to the trade, KB also sell quality paints to the public with technical advice, as required, so location is very important. While the market is changing and online will take some sales, a local outlet with quality paints and knowledgeable staff continues to be a strong business model.”
