SEVEN jobs have been created thanks to a new Toolstation branch which has opened in Glasgow's South Side.

The new branch is on Hagg Road in the Shawlands area of the city.

It is the fifth Toolstation to open in the city with branches already in Anniesland Business Park, Kingston Bridge Trading Estate, Forge Trade Park and The Point.

Branch manager Ross Goldie said: “It’s great to open our new, fifth branch in Glasgow and to introduce ourselves to the trade locally.

"Our team here really does pride itself on making it quick and easy for our customers to get their trade supplies by calling in or using our click and collect service.

"We are looking forward to lending a hand to the tradespeople nearby, offering the best products for the jobs they have.”

The Glasgow Shawlands branch is opened seven days a week.
