Independent timber, building and fencing merchant Lawsons has announced the acquisition of Poores of Acton.

Poores is a long-established family-owned business trading from two locations in Acton: London W3 and Chorleywood, Herts. The two sites represent an opportunity for Lawsons to continue to grow its network of branches in strategic locations in and around the M25.

Joe Inzani, managing director, said: "Lawsons welcomes the staff of Poores of Acton to the Lawsons team and wish them all a long and rewarding career with us."
