Watts Roofing Supplies has announced its acquisition of Oadby Building Products Limited (OBP), based in Leicester.
The supplier states that OBP will enhance its existing offers and expand its current range, expertise and customer base; OBP will remain as its own brand, continuing to operate from its site.
Founded in 2008 by Mehul Somani, OBP has been a trusted name in the supply of building products to various sectors, including Newbuild, Selfbuild, Social Housing, and Domestic Refurbishment and Maintenance.
The company began as Oadby Building Plastics and expanded significantly after moving to a purpose-built 25,000 square foot warehouse and office space in January 2014, located on Kenilworth Drive in the Oadby industrial estate.
Simon Lock, the manager at OBP, brings 26 years of industry experience, having progressed from a yard person at Asphaltic to his current role. His 11-year tenure at OBP has been marked by his extensive knowledge and dedication to the company.
