Screwfix has confirmed it will be opening a store in Wells, but has refused to say where or when.

The international home improvement company is recruiting for retail assistants, trade supervisors and retail supervisors on its website which suggests that the opening date will not be far off, but a spokesman would not give any details about a firm opening date or location for the store, simply saying "We will announce the location and opening date in due course."

A statement from the company said: "We are delighted to bring Screwfix closer to even more customers and look forward to welcoming busy tradespeople to our new store in Wells later this year. As we continue to grow our store network we will announce details about each new store, including planned dates for opening, in due course. Customers can find the up-to-date store information on Screwfix.com."

Screwfix opened its 800th store in June and says it will create more than 800 jobs by the end of January 2023 with the opening of 80 new stores across the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
