We are truly optimistic for what the future holds and excited to acquire a company whose history, reputation and great customer service is at the forefront of what they do.”

With their passion and vision, we know that they will drive the business forward and that the future looks really exciting for all those involved.”

This acquisition is the second in West Yorkshire in a month for Huws Gray, after the recent purchase of Milford Building Supplies in Leeds. As they join existing branches in Bradford, Heckmondwike and Horbury Bridge, Market Weighton and Burnley, this acquisition significantly strengthens the company’s presence in the county.
