Travis Perkins are an essential part of the DIY trade. Travis Perkins stock many niche items that B&Q etc do not. My nearest Travis Perkins was an hour drive and I used to enjoy just having a browse and then buying online.

Really surprised they can't weather the storm
I heard that just over 50% of their rental income went on paying the interest on their debt. They grew too big far too fast and now the employees are paying the price
