In Britain our products are sold through Builders Merchants, whilst in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland we sell through our own wholly-owned outlets as well as a number of other carefully chosen retail partners and Builders Merchants.
Since our establishment more than 60 years ago as Acheson & Glover Limited, we have sought to provide opportunities for our team to build careers – rather than just hold down a job.
