Allun Pittingale has joined Lawsons Group as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Established in 1921 and reputedly the largest independently owned builders’ merchant in the South East of England, the Lawsons Group operates from thirty five branches (and a dedicated steel fabrication plant), trading under seven brands. The business has over 700 staff and reported a turnover of £175m in its last published results.
Allun brings a wealth of industry experience to Lawsons, including five years at IBMG (Independent Builders Merchant Group) most recently as COO, four years at Travis Perkins plc as Regional Managing Director (in addition to a previous eight-year stint with the company) and five years at Benchmarx Kitchens & Joinery, culminating as Operations Director.
On his new appointment, Allun said: “This business has thrived through four generations of Lawson family ownership, and I’m proud to play my part in continuing that legacy — carrying forward the tradition of Family Values and Professional Service that has stood the test of time. From day one I’ll be out in our branches, meeting our people and getting to know our customers.
“Here’s to the next chapter…”
