Independent Builders Merchant Group

Independent Builders Merchants Group is the largest independent builders merchant group in the South East. In March 2018 Cairngorm Capital acquired Parker Building Supplies, a leading independent builders’ merchant based in Sussex and Kent. Three further proprietary investments in 2019 have created the largest independent builders’ merchant in the South East of England, led by a management team with deep industry expertise. The business primarily serves trade customers with its core offering of heavyside building materials, civils, roofing & timber, plus an array of ancillary product lines including kitchens, plumbing & heating, joinery and architectural ironmongery. The new enlarged company, which will be part of a holding company known as the Independent Builders’ Merchant Group (IBMG), has 39 branches operating from the Midlands to the South East, with combined revenues of £180 million and over 750 employees.
