This year’s Lord Mayor’s Show will be held on 12 November, and once again the Worshipful Company of Builders’ Merchants is organising a float, supported by Naylor. This year, the theme is ‘Builders’ Merchants: Supplying Britain’s Building Needs’ – demonstrating the importance of builders’ merchanting to the UK economy.

The Livery Company last included a float in London’s Lord Mayor’s show in 2013; this was supported by Naylor and featured Builders’ Merchanting through the ages, starting with a hand-cart and ending with a flat-bed lorry. It grabbed the attention of BBC broadcasters and featured prominently on TV.
