Foundations for Growth at Encon & Nevill Long East Anglia

This summer, our business scaled up its capabilities in the East of England with the unveiling of Encon & Nevill Long East Anglia. The newly named branch is the result of the merger of Encon & Nevill Long Thetford with Encon Newmarket to form a Total Solutions branch at our existing site in Thetford.

Our longstanding Thetford and Newmarket teams came together to support our customers with knowledge and solutions across all our specialist divisions, spanning Encon Insulation, Nevill Long Interior Systems, Encon Technical Solutions and Encon Construction Products.

Steve Clarke, Regional Director, and Jon Pease, Site Director at East Anglia, explain the strategic vision behind the development and how it lays the foundations for our ambitious growth aspirations in the region...

Steve comments: “Expanding our capabilities at East Anglia represents a significant investment in the long-term future of our business, growing and developing our market share and enabling us to offer even more comprehensive support for customer projects. We have a site in excess of 80,000 sq. ft, enabling us to increase our stocks of specialist lines.

“Customers from both Newmarket and Thetford are already benefitting from our greater breadth and depth of stock. We are seeing a significant number of existing drylining customers from Thetford now also buying specialist materials such as passive fire protection, with ceiling and mezzanine flooring customers also benefitting to meet 90-minute requirements. Brickwork contractors are engaging with our growing range of Encon Construction Products.

“Very simply, customers can now source everything they need, from groundworks to interiors, under one roof and in fewer, larger deliveries, representing greater operational efficiency for both our customers and business.”

East Anglia’s wider range of stock is backed by an even greater depth of expertise, with the longstanding teams from Thetford and Newmarket joining forces to support customers with specialist knowledge.

Jon explains: “For customers who purchase a breadth of standard or non-standard product lines, our team’s knowledge ensures our support extends beyond the point of sale. Among my colleagues joining me in the move from Newmarket, I can count 130 years of combined experience, adding to many decades of existing interiors expertise at Thetford.

“The wealth of experience in the office means there is always somebody to support customers with the knowledge and experience they need and expect. Whether it’s our Sales Office Managers Graham Harrower and Jane Smith for building insulation and drylining respectively, Denise Young [Senior Sales Coordinator] for ceilings, or Sam Richardson [Senior Sales] for technical insulation, there is a specialist on hand.”

Our modern fleet is ready to deliver to sites across Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, while we also have a dedicated area at the branch for convenient collections.

East Anglia also boasts ISO 19443 accreditation, a quality management system standard for organisations operating in the nuclear industry supply chain, positioning us as a fully accredited supplier for customers working on projects at the Sizewell C nuclear facility.

Steve concludes: “Our investment in the facilities, infrastructure and personnel at Encon & Nevill Long East Anglia provides the foundations for our plans and ambitions for the future, helping to cement our position as The Distributor of Choice in the region.”
