Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
Welsh independent builders’ merchant LBS Group has reported increased sales and profits for 2025, continuing to outperform a challenging market while investing in its people, branches and customer service.
The fourth-generation family-owned business, headquartered in Ammanford, recorded turnover of £91.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, up from £88.9 million in 2024. Profit before tax increased by 30% to £3.2 million, with its pre-tax profit margin improving 0.7 percentage points.
The results, reported by parent company LBS Holdings (UK) Limited, were achieved despite subdued conditions across the construction sector and continued pressure on margins.
Joint managing director, Ben Davies, comments: “Our teams deserve enormous credit for these results, and we are grateful to our customers for their continued support. The knowledge and commitment of our people, backed by strong stock availability and competitive pricing, give customers a reason to choose LBS.
“We know trading conditions remain tough for many of our customers. Our priority is to help them keep their projects moving and their businesses growing, with reliable service and support from people they know and trust.”
