Building together …… building on experience
When it comes to homebuild, there is nothing more re-assuring than having a partner you can rely on. and when it comes to building no one is more reliable that Bradfords.
Bradfords has its Head Office at Yeovil in Somerset and has been supplying building materials for over 200 years and is now one of the largest independent builders’ merchants in the UK. We now have branches throughout the South West, Herefordshire and Worcestershire and continue to open new outlets every year. All branches are networked to provide an exceptional resource for building materials and products.
Bradfords has one of the most highly regarded reputations in the building industry for staff development and training and are proud to have been awarded “Investors in People” accreditation. We have always recognised that good advice and helpful service is dependent on the ability and enthusiasm of our people. We know how much difference this makes to the lives and businesses of our customers.
The Bradfords Group has a turnover in excess of £150m, giving us the buying power to stock the best quality and the widest range of products and to offer them at the most competitive prices. It also means we have developed our knowledge and support across many specialised building areas.
This means that Bradfords has staff who not only understand the issues and problems that home-builders are likely to face, but also know the opportunities for cost and time savings that can be realised.
