European Decorative Products (EDP) will relocate to a larger 5,000ft² warehouse in Southend during April and take on more staff.

The move is in response to the increasing number of UK furniture manufacturers using its woodcoil and PVC edging tape business.

EDP holds extensive stocks matching designs from melamine board manufacturers including Egger, Kronospan and Caberboard.

Co-founder Terry Willett said EDP’s service meant customers were dealing direct with the manufacturers but with the added advantage of UK stocks available immediately.
