Leading Builders Merchant Opens New Branch

LBS Builders Merchants Ltd, South Wales leading builders merchant, have expanded their branch network, opening a new site in Aberdare.

LBS’s new branch, on a site formerly occupied by Mendhams Building  Supplies, was acquired earlier this year, represented by South West Wales law firm, JCP Solicitors.

LBS Managing Director Mark Davies said: “Aberdare, our 16th site, represents a significant investment for LBS and will allow us to develop our business along the Cynon Valley.

“The Aberdare branch represents a new format for us with all our trading brands on one site, Total Plumbing, Casey’s Roofing, Civils and Middleton Kitchens and Bathrooms. This new format will offer our customers an increased level of customer service.”

Trading on the site since August, LBS are pleased that the redevelopment of the yard, warehouse and new shop area are now completed.

JCP Director and Joint Head of Corporate, Betsan Powell, acted for LBS on the purchase. She said: “JCP’s commercial team has a long-standing and valued relationship with LBS and we were pleased to be able to work with them on this important acquisition.

“It is good to see LBS expand into the South Wales Valleys and to see them bringing valuable employment to the area. We wish them continued success.”

JCP Solicitors has branches in Swansea, Cardiff, Carmarthen, Haverfordwest, Fishguard and St Davids.
