Lords Builders Merchants

The builders’ merchant industry is built on expertise, community, and a commitment to supporting the trade. The Worshipful Company of Builders’ Merchants helps to protect this legacy; championing merchants, investing in education, and giving back to our local communities. At Lords, we’re so proud to play our part. Our very own Shanker Patel (CEO), Steve Durdant-Hollamby (COO), and Jamie Herd (Divisional MD of Specialism Distribution) are all active members, supporting the future of our industry while staying true to the values that matter most to us all.

This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the incredible women across Lords who are leading our teams, driving change, and making an impact in every part of our business. From the branch floor to senior leadership, from logistics to sales, the trade has never been one-size-fits-all, and the more we open doors and champion diverse talent, the stronger our industry becomes. This year’s theme, Accelerate Action, is about pushing forward real change, creating opportunities, and ensuring that talent, not gender, shapes the future of construction and merchanting.

🪵On Wednesday night, against Wealdstone Football Club, #30 Alex Woodyard made his Sutton United Football Club debut! This video was created and used on socials to tease his arrival. Because y'know, wood, timber, yard... Woodyard 🤣🤣 This is what partnerships are all about, helping each other out and then both benefitting from it. As you can probably guess, Woodyard is proudly sponsored by Lords Builders Merchants. Thanks again for all your help with the video Dean Seymour and Amanda Lowndes 🤝 #Sponsorship | #Partnerships | #Collaborations | #BrandAwareness | #AmberArmy | #SUFC
