St Andrews Timber & Building Supplies has upgraded its landscaping division with the purchase of
two new vehicles.
The expanded fleet will see a Volvo FE 320 Dropside based at its Stenhouse branch in Edinburgh,
while a Mercedes Actros 2533 will work out of the firm’s west coast headquarters in Paisley. The 14-
tonne trucks can both carry 12 tonnes and are each fitted with a Fassi F155 crane.
The six-figure investment significantly enhances the landscaping offering at both branches as the
company looks to continue to develop that side of the business.
St Andrews is now one of the largest independent builders’ merchants in Scotland, with the new arrivals
bringing the fleet number to 23 across all four of its branches, Prestonfield and Livingston making up
the group.
Operations director Kerrie Ferguson said: “It was a strategic move for us to diversify into landscaping
and it is becoming increasingly popular with our customer base across the group and we now have
displays at all four branches.
“This is not an insignificant investment and we felt it was the right time to make these additions to
the Stenhouse and Paisley fleet.
“The landscaping market is experiencing consistent growth and the new trucks leave us well placed
to service that side of the business with even more attention to detail and flexibility.”
