One of the North West’s longest-standing builders’ merchants, Beesley & Fildes, has announced that from January 2025 it will become a member of H&B Group.
As an independent builders’ merchant, with over 200 years of history and experience, Beesley & Fildes has established itself as a leading supplier of building materials across multiple trades, serving local customers through its 10 branches, as well as nationwide customers online.
Founded in 1820 by Robert Beesley, the company has grown from a single shop in Prescot, Merseyside, to a regional branch network providing dedicated knowledge and a wealth of experience across a wide range of trades including civil engineering, landscaping, joinery, plumbing and heating, kitchens and bathrooms, and roofing.
Despite its impressive expansion, Beesley & Fildes continues to operate as a family business, holding true to its core values of quality, value, reliability and a customer-first approach.
The decision to join H&B Group reflects Beesley & Fildes' commitment to offering their customers the best building products and solutions at competitive prices. By joining the H&B network, it will have enhanced access to a wider range of suppliers and opportunities for collaboration, ensuring it can continue to deliver exceptional value and service to its customers.
“Joining H&B Group marks an exciting new chapter in the Beesley & Fildes journey," says James Beesley, director, Beesley & Fildes (pictured above). "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.”
