RNS Number:7303R Heiton Group PLC 06 November 2003 Strictly Embargoed until 7.00 am Thursday 6th November 2003 Atlantic Homecare announces 220 new jobs as part of Euro10 million expansion plan Atlantic Homecare, one of the leading DIY and homecare retailers in Ireland has today, (Thursday November 6th) announced that 220 new jobs are to be created under a Euro10 million investment by parent company, Heiton Group plc. The announcement, which is part of a large regional expansion plan by Atlantic Homecare, coincides with the official opening of Ireland's largest Atlantic Homecare store in Galway tomorrow and the announcement of three new stores planned for Tullamore, Wexford and Limerick. 40 new jobs have been created in Galway with a further 180 jobs planned for the remaining three stores to be opened in 2004 and 2005. The planned openings are in line with the company's strategy to service growing consumer demand in the rapidly expanding Irish home improvement market. This announcement will bring the number of Atlantic Homecare stores in the Irish market to 16, which in total will then employ approximately 700 people. Commenting on the expansion, Paul Lynch, Managing Director of Heiton Retail said, "This is a very exciting development for Atlantic Homecare. The creation of three new stores plus our store in Galway, which is the largest Irish owned DIY and homecare store, will have a positive impact on the Irish economy both through the direct creation of jobs but also through the knock on effect on the Irish companies who supply 70% of our products. This announcement forms part of our regional expansion strategy which is to locate new stores in prime, densely populated locations around the country. Huge potential for growth exists in the rapidly expanding Irish Home improvement market and Atlantic Homecare is well positioned to tap into this opportunity. The growth in the housing market outside Dublin, coupled with the extension of commuting distances, means that the consumer is looking for DIY and Homecare solutions closer to home rather than having to travel to superstores on the outskirts of the capital. We are bringing quality products at competitive prices to people on their doorstep" The four stores in total will comprise of 189,000 sq ft of prime retail space and each store will feature over 22,000 different products. The DIY market in Ireland has seen major changes in its traditional customer base over recent years. To reflect this, Atlantic Homecare has introduced a number of new ranges and products, with a greater emphasis on interior design, soft furnishings and garden products, to cater for its customers who are now predominantly female. Atlantic Homecare is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Heiton Group plc. Heiton Group is the parent company for Heiton Trade (Heiton Buckley, Heiton Steel Cork Builders Providers, Wrights Window Systems and Sam Hire) Heiton Retail (Atlantic Homecare and In-House at the Panelling Centre) and Heiton UK (Cooper Clarke and Willis). -ends- For further information, please contact Orla Benson at Drury Communications at 01 260 5000 or 087 8033262 Leo Martin Paul Lynch Chief Executive Managing Director Heiton Group plc Heiton Retail 01 403 4002 01 403 4020 087 256 3296 086 813 6119 This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange END MSCFSDFMISDSEEF
