Expansion for Perform Panel

Perform Panel are delighted to announce that opening of its second distribution centre in England.

Perform Panel is part of Nu-Style Products, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the James Donaldson & Sons Group. JDS has been serving the construction and building trades since 1860. Around 1100 people are employed across eleven individual businesses, and the Group is still family owned and managed today.

The new distribution centre is located at the Shortwood Business Park in Barnsley, the 4,500ft2 centre is our second location to open in England in the last 12 months. This follows the successful launch of our first English distribution centre in Birmingham in September 2021, in response to increasing demand for the products across the UK and Europe.

The site has created four full-time positions, with further recruitment anticipated, demonstrating commitment to the area and generating new opportunities in local employment within the depot and van fleet.

Steve Galbraith, Managing Director at Nu-Style Products, comments: “We are incredibly excited to be opening our distribution centre in Barnsley. We already have good trading in the north of England and this site will allow us to further enhance our delivery service to our customers and continue Perform Panel’s growth.”

Andrew Donaldson, CEO of the Donaldson Group, adds: “The second distribution centre opening in England in the last year is a great investment for Perform Panel, Nu-Style and the Donaldson Group as a whole. It’s a really exciting time for the company; Nu-Style has another distribution centre location set to open in Summer 2023, with further expansion set for 2024.

“The team offers a fast, reliable and quality distribution service and we’re delighted to bring this expansion to Barnsley and the surrounding Yorkshire area.”

All Perform Panel products are manufactured at our 35,000sqft production facility in Aberdeen, using state-of-the-art technology. As with all JDS businesses, Perform Panel is committed to improving environmental performance, encouraging new sustainable technology, and achieving or exceeding legal and regulatory standards for all products and services.
