FAST GROWING TRADE COUNTER CHAIN
OPENS NEW BRANCH IN DONCASTER
Truemans, the fast growing trade counter
chain, has embarked on the latest phase
of their ambitious growth strategy and
opened a new outlet in Doncaster. Like the
company’s Burnley and Sheffield branches,
Truemans Doncaster will stock a wide range
of products and will offer local installers a
fast turnaround, competitive prices and a real
added value service.
Joe Trueman, the company’s managing
director, commented: “Truemans has built a
loyal following in Burnley and Sheffield and

of dealing with Truemans.”
Truemans doesn’t manufacture any of its
products; it buys-in very large quantities from
some of the country’s largest ‘super-fabricators’,
meaning it can still offer competitive prices; and
it doesn’t install, so is not competing with any
of its customers. Because the company does not
fabricate or install, it can afford to concentrate
on offering customers real added value service.

and around Doncaster and we’re keen to engage
