Sustainable decking brand secures partnership with independent builders’ merchants
Sustainable composite cladding and decking products firm, Composite Prime, has secured independent builders’ merchant and plant & tool hire specialist, Frank Key as a retailer of a range of its luxury products.
Frank Key, which was established in 1907 and has 19 branches across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Yorkshire and Lancashire, supplies building materials, as well as plant and tool hire to both trade and consumers. Frank Key will retail the full Composite Prime portfolio online and will sell its popular ranges of HD Deck Dual and HD Deck XS in its stores nationwide.
Charles Taylor, sales director at Composite Prime, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have secured Frank Key as a retailer of Composite Prime products. Our revolutionary decking has a range of unique characteristics which we feel both trade and consumer customers will benefit from, including its low maintenance, long life span and slip resistant properties. We’re delighted with the Frank Key partnership and have full confidence that our products will be a success with its customers.”
Since 1977 the Sansom family has invested significantly in the expansion and success of Frank Key, which is now one of the largest independent builders’ merchants in the East Midlands and Yorkshire area, with branches stretching from Keighley to West Bridgford.
Benjamin Sansom, group sales and marketing director at Frank Key, added: “We’re thrilled to be retailing Composite Prime products. Whilst the full portfolio of products are available to purchase via our Frank Key website, a number of product ranges can also be picked up in our branches across the UK.
“Composite Prime products are perfectly suited to enhance our professional quality portfolio of building materials; our customers will appreciate their sustainable credentials as well as the unique formula of recycled plastic and FSC® certified oak wood flour that has been used to ensure quality and longevity.
“Composite Prime products have a remarkable likeness to timber and their versatility and colour tones also make it the perfect solution for consumers wanting to transform their gardens, allowing them to create a completely bespoke design with tailored patterns and schemes to match adjoining interiors.”
Composite Prime is dedicated to producing sustainable materials, with each square metre of composite decking containing the equivalent of more than 3,000 plastic bottle caps or 280 plastic bottles. In the last six years of operation the brand has also saved more than 151 million plastic milk bottles from landfill.
