Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
Owner and managing director of Henshaws Roofing & Building Supplies, Adrian Shelley, has been elected to the BMF (Builders Merchants Federation) board.
Since acquiring Henshaws, Shelly has overseen its growth from a single-site roofing and builders’ merchant into five branches across Greater Manchester, including two specialist building plastics branches trading under the PRP brand.
He has been involved with the BMF for several years, most recently as regional chair for the North West Region.
BMF CEO John Newcomb said: “Adrian’s wealth of experience and passion for the industry make him an excellent board member for the BMF. I look forward to working alongside him when I take up my new role as BMF executive chairman on 1 November. I would also like to thank Rachel for her excellent work and support as a board advisor and, subsequently, as a board member over the past five years.”
Shelly will be taking up his position on October 1 2026, replacing Merritt & Fryers managing director, Rachel Fryers, who is stepping down from the board at the end of September.
