Hevey Building Supplies, part of Lords Group Trading Ltd, has bought MAP Building & Civil Engineering Supplies Ltd.
Established in 2003, the Ilkeston, Derbyshire, based MAP specialises in heavyside and civils, covering the East Midlands and Derbyshire. Owners Martin McCaul and Philip West will be staying on for the immediate future.
Mark Mulvey, managing director of Hevey Building Supplies said: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to acquire this well-established business from its current owners. Map has great staff and a strong customer base, a reputation for great service and a comprehensive stock holding. The addition adds to our delivery coverage in the Midlands area.”
The Lords’ group civils coverage now spreads from Derby down to the South-East.
The acquisition continues the growth plan for the family-owned Group, which is aiming to become a top five supplier of building materials in the next five years.
