Terry Owen, Huws Gray Managing Director, commented: “It’s been a busy period for all of us following the acquisition of Ridgeons. We’re delighted to be on the acquisition trail again with the addition of K.F. Supplies to our branch network. It was a pleasure to work with the Freeman family during the acquisition process and we wish them the very best in the future.”
This latest acquisition is part of the company’s growth plan to strengthen its presence in the UK.
