Nothing puts a smile on our face more than helping local good causes. So, it was with great pleasure that we awarded £500 to our first Proud to be Local winner in recognition of its impressive work.

Following a huge response to the public vote, our first community fund winner was announced as Horsham-based group 4TheYouth. The fund is part of our county-wide campaign to showcase and support four different community groups and charities in Sussex during 2018. The group won after receiving a huge number of votes via our various voting channels – from our in-store voting box to our Facebook page.

4TheYouth is a charity set up to run youth projects for young people in the Horsham district and surrounding areas.
The group runs five generic youth club sessions for young people, who can choose to take part in sports activities, play games and develop new skills. The £500 will be used to buy equipment for its brand new Saturday club, The Woodland Project. Using a Forest Schools’

Over the past 30 years, we’ve been fortunate enough to build a loyal customer base of individuals and companies across the county.

Thanks to the development and growth of our company, we’re on the lookout for local talent to join us at our Kingsfold depot, based near Horsham. We have three new job vacancies for full time positions across a range of roles, so if you have

As a leading local supplier of materials to the building industry for the last 33 years, we’ve been privileged to watch and participate in the development and gradual growth of the market.

According to the Builders Merchants Federation, the UK building materials supply chain is now bigger than the automotive and aerospace industries combined. This national success story has helped pull the economy through hard times and looks set to support the boom in housing, in line with the Government’s forthcoming housebuilding targets.

We’re proud of the small part we’ve played in this wider picture, however we’re even prouder of the role we’ve performed locally in supporting build projects of all sizes. From commercial builders to project-only DIY enthusiasts looking for guidance on how to returf a lawn or tackle the patio, we’ve got the materials available at a price that’s competitive and fair.

The service that we offer to our local community, in the heart of the Sussex/Surrey

Based in beautiful Sussex, we’ve been proud to serve the communities around our depot in Kingsfold for over 30 years and get involved with some of the amazing charities in our region. However, with such an abundance of fabulous work being done on our doorstep it’s hard to select which worthy causes to champion.

This year, we’ve launched a campaign that allows you to decide which charities will receive a £500 donation from our company. In total, four community groups will receive a boost. Launched in January, our ‘Proud to be Local’ campaign called out for the first round of nominations for charitable endeavours you thought deserved the funds. And the response was overwhelming. We received some inspiring and touching stories of work which changes people’s lives for the better.

The hardest part was trying to select three shortlisted charities to go through to the next stage, however after much deliberation we’re pleased to announce that three Horsham causes have been chosen.

With Valentine’s Day approaching, you might be thinking of playing matchmaker to your single friends and setting them up on a date. We all understand the joy of finding your perfect match and the disappointment when it doesn’t work out.

Here at D.W. Nye, we’re used to playing matchmaker and offering advice on how to find ‘the one’, albeit with a slightly different flavour. And we don’t think you should settle for second best.
One of the biggest challenges in the construction industry is colour matching new masonry with existing materials. Whether you’re extending your home or repairing the patio in your garden, nothing spoils the look more than mismatched products. Sourcing bricks, stone and paving slabs is one of the most important issues in the build process – it can determine the success or failure of a project.

With such a wide variety of colours, makes and suppliers available it’s likely you’ll need to track down a specific type, but searching the internet or phoning
