Huws Gray Group has announced the acquisition of Leeds-based Milford Building Supplies, as part of its expansion plans.

Milford Building Supplies was established 41 years ago, from a single site on Cardigan Road in Headingley. The business grew steadily through the 80’s and 90’s and a second site was acquired in 1997, on Skinner Lane in the Mabgate area of the city. 

Matthew Owen, Head of Acquisitions for Huws Gray Group, said: “We are delighted to be actively on the acquisition trail again, and optimistic about the future.  

“Milford Building Supplies, is a merchant with similar ‘customer-first’ values to Huws Gray, so great customer service will remain a focus for the business” 

John Middleton-Walker, Executive Chairman for Milford, added “We are delighted to be handing the business over to safe hands. Huws Gray are a progressive company, who will take Milford Building Supplies forward. They also recognise the value staff can add to a business, as being key to its success”.

This acquisition is the first in the Leeds area for Huws Gray and significantly strengthens the company’s presence in Yorkshire.
