Independent family-run North West’s builders’ merchants, Beesley & Fildes, will become a member of H&B Group from January 2025.
Founded in 1820 by Robert Beesley, the company has grown from a single shop in Prescot, Merseyside, to a regional branch network serving a wide range of trades including civil engineering, landscaping, joinery, plumbing and heating, kitchens and bathrooms, and roofing.
By joining the H&B network, Beesley & Fildes will have enhanced access to a wider range of suppliers and opportunities for collaboration, ensuring they can continue to deliver exceptional value and service to their customers.
Director James Beesley says: “Joining H&B Group marks an exciting new chapter in the Beesley & Fildes journey. It not only strengthens our buying power but also allows us to continue delivering on our promise of quality and value to our customers, while upholding the standards our family business has been known for over the past two centuries.”
Glenn Paddison, H&B commercial director, adds: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Beesley & Fildes as the newest member of our growing family of independent merchants. Their joining marks a significant milestone in our growth strategy, underscoring our commitment to expanding the benefits we offer to our members. This is an exciting time for H&B, and we look forward to welcoming even more merchants into our membership in the coming months as we continue to build on this momentum.”
