Ben Todd is bringing industry experience and senior financial experience to Hadleigh Timber Group as its new Managing Director.

After 11 years at the Travis Perkins Group, Ben Todd is making the move to Hadleigh Timber Group. Before progressing from Finance Director for Keyline, BSS Industrial, and Travis Perkins General Merchant to Managing Director of Travis Perkins Managed Services, Todd was an ACA Chartered Accountant with KPMG and EY and then held senior finance roles at Boots.

Martyn Meade, Chairman of Hadleigh Timber Group, said: "Ben's extensive experience within the building merchant and distribution sectors gives him a strong understanding of Hadleigh Timber Group's customers, markets and overall offering.

"Ben is a highly effective and experienced leader with a proven ability to bring large teams together. His inclusive, focused and commercially driven approach to management closely aligns with the culture and ambitions of Hadleigh Timber Group.

"The appointment represents an important step in the continued development of the Group and strengthens the senior leadership team as Hadleigh Timber Group looks towards its next phase of growth.

I am delighted to welcome Ben to the business and look forward to working with him as we continue to build on the Group's strong foundations and develop the business for the future."

Todd said: "Hadleigh has built something genuinely strong over many years – deep local relationships and real expertise across Panelco, Meyer and Timbmet, now backed by real scale. That's a rare combination, and I'm looking forward to working with the teams across the Group to build on it."
