Builders’ Merchants News has extended the deadline to feature in our brand new supplement for 2023 - which will be published with our January 2023 issue - until December 7.

Replacing Leading Lights, A Year in Merchanting will include a breakdown of the leading UK merchants by turnover, employees and branches and feature a league table highlighting the top performers in the merchant sector.

The league table will include the most up-to-date financial details of the most successful merchants in the UK, so in order to make this as comprehensive and accurate as possible, we need answers to the following:

  • Your business’ turnover for the most recent year-end
  • The calendar dates of your most recent year-end
  • Your business’ previous annual turnover (for comparison purposes to the most recent figures) 
  • The number of branches
  • The number of staff

A Year in Merchanting will also offer each merchant the opportunity to share its thoughts on how 2022 has panned out and its views/plans for 2023?

BMN Editor Tim Wood said: "The invitation is open to all merchants large and small to share how well you have done over the past 12 months. A league table will be created from all entries received, while there will also be the opportunity to sum up 2022 and try to predict how 2023 will unfurl.

"You don't want to miss out on the chance to be included in a league full of the premier names across the industry."

Please email your answers to the questions, your reflections/forecasts in no more than 300 words and an image of the company to t.wood@hgluk.com by 7 December 2022.
