Travis Perkins plc is a British builders' merchant and home improvement retailer with head offices based in Northampton. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange, and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index. Through its Toolstation subsidiary, the group also has operations in mainland Europe.

History

[edit]

The company began in 1797, when the Benjamin Ingram company of joiners and carpenters was founded at Beech Street in London.[3] Benjamin Ingram subsequently merged with Perkins to become Ingram Perkins in 1850.[4] Ingram Perkins then merged with Sandell Smythe & Drayson in 1970 to form Sandell Perkins.[5]

Sandell Perkins was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1986, shortly before it merged with Travis & Arnold in 1988, to form Travis Perkins.[6] (Travis & Arnold had been founded by Ernest Travis in 1899. Originally operating in London, the company moved to Northampton in 1904, with the Midlands becoming its core market.)[7]

Subsequent acquisitions have included AAH (46 branches) in March 1994,[8] BMSS (26 branches) in December 1995,[9] Keyline Builders Merchants (101 branches) in May 1999,[10] and Sharpe & Fisher (38 branches) in 1998,[11] Broombys Limited (nine branches) in January 2000,[12] City Plumbing Supplies Limited (48 branches) in July 2002,[13] and Commercial Ceiling Factors (twenty distribution centres) in October 2002,[14] Jayhard (53 branches) in August 2003,[15] and B&G (twelve branches) in October 2003,[16] Wickes (171 stores) in December 2004,[17] and Tile Giant in November 2007.[18]

The company had a particularly challenging time after the 2008 financial crisis; it stopped its dividend and indicated it was open to declaring a rights issue.[19]

In May 2010, Travis Perkins made a successful offer to acquire BSS Group for £553m,[20] and then acquired the remaining 70% stake in Toolstation in January 2012,[21] and the whole of Solfex in January 2013.[22]

In November 2017, Travis Perkins sought support from the local community in Pimlico, when the oldest timber yard in the United Kingdom, owned by Travis Perkins, was threatened by closure to allow a housing development to proceed.[23]

In December 2018, Travis Perkins announced plans to sell City Plumbing Supplies and its other plumbing and heating businesses.[24] In October 2019, Travis Perkins announced this decision had been paused.[25]

In June 2020, Travis Perkins sought to cut 2,500 jobs under plans to close 165 branches during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.[26]

In October 2020, it was announced that Travis Perkins had sold Tile Giant to Coverings Ltd.[27]

In April 2021 the demerger of Wickes Group plc was completed.[28]

In May 2021 the company announced that it had agreed to sell its plumbing and heating businesses to H.I.G. Capital.[29]

By 2024, approximately 20% of Travis Perkins revenue came from Toolstation. Up to March 2024, Toolstation had continued to grow its UK market share, opening 163 new Toolstation branches between 2020 and 2022, and adding seven more in 2023. However, its mainland Europe stores were doing less well, and Travis Perkins announced Toolstation was quitting France and reviewing its operations in Netherlands and Belgium.[30]

History

Founding and Early Years

Travis Perkins traces its origins to two longstanding British companies in the building materials sector: Travis & Arnold and Sandell Perkins. Travis & Arnold was founded in 1899 by Ernest Travis as a timber merchant initially based in , focusing on wood products and later expanding into broader building supplies. The company relocated to in 1904, establishing a stronger foothold in the , and grew steadily through the early by developing its distribution network for timber and related materials. Sandell Perkins has even deeper roots, originating from Benjamin Ingram's and business established in 1797 at 33 Beech Street in , which supplied hardwoods and building components. Over the following decades, Ingram's firm merged with the Perkins family business in the to form Ingram Perkins, evolving into a key supplier of builders' merchants. By the mid-20th century, through additional consolidations including the 1970 merger with Sandell Smythe & Drayson (founded in 1785), it became Sandell Perkins, a national distributor with an extensive branch network across the . Travis & Arnold went public on the London Stock Exchange in , which facilitated its early expansion via acquisitions of regional building materials merchants, such as Page Calnan and the Ellis & Everard building supplies division, primarily in the and southwest during the latter half of the 20th century. Sandell Perkins achieved its own public listing in 1986, positioning both entities for further growth in the competitive market. The pivotal moment came in 1988 when Travis & Arnold and Sandell Perkins merged to create Travis Perkins plc, combining their complementary strengths in merchanting and distribution to form a nationwide entity with over 150 branches. This union, led by Tony Travis as chairman and CEO, marked the birth of a major player in the UK building materials industry, setting the stage for subsequent developments while building on centuries of combined heritage.

Key Mergers and Acquisitions

Travis Perkins pursued significant growth through strategic acquisitions in the building materials and distribution sectors, starting in the early 1990s.

In 2002, Travis Perkins purchased City Plumbing Supplies for £38.2 million, bolstering its plumbing and heating distribution network with additional branches focused on trade customers. This acquisition laid groundwork for specialist merchanting in residential and commercial plumbing. In 2004, the company acquired the DIY retailer from Duke Street Capital for £950 million, incorporating over 170 stores and integrating retail operations to broaden its consumer reach.

By the 2010s, acquisitions targeted specialized distribution channels. In 2010, Travis Perkins completed the £557.6 million acquisition of BSS Group plc, a major HVAC, plumbing, and heating distributor with approximately 290 branches, significantly strengthening its position in the UK's specialist merchanting market. This cash-and-shares transaction enhanced expertise in industrial and trade supplies, creating one of the largest such networks in the country. In 2008, Travis Perkins initially acquired a 30% stake in Toolstation Limited for £18 million, providing loans to support its online and mail-order model for tools and building products. By 2012, it purchased the remaining 70% for £24 million, achieving full ownership and introducing an e-commerce platform with rapid next-day delivery to over 200 branches. Other notable acquisitions in this period included Solfex Energy Systems in 2013 for an initial £8 million, which added distribution capabilities, including solar and products, to support growing demand in sustainable building materials. These deals collectively drove Travis Perkins' expansion in the building materials market, enhancing its diversified portfolio across merchanting, retail, and specialist services.

Restructuring and Recent Developments

Following the and the resulting slowdown in the UK housing market, Travis Perkins implemented significant cost-cutting measures, including a 16% reduction in like-for-like headcount.

The exacerbated operational challenges in 2020, prompting further restructuring. Travis Perkins announced plans to cut approximately 2,500 jobs—about 9% of its workforce—and close 165 stores to adapt to reduced demand in the construction sector. As part of efforts to streamline its retail portfolio, the company sold its Tile Giant tile retailing business to Leeds-based investment group Coverings Ltd in October 2020. In 2021, Travis Perkins pursued a strategic refocus on its core (B2B) merchanting operations through major divestitures. The company completed the of its Group DIY retail arm in April 2021, distributing one Wickes share for each Travis Perkins share held by investors, which allowed the group to concentrate resources on professional trade customers. Later that year, in September 2021, it sold its plumbing and heating distribution businesses—including City Plumbing Supplies and BSS—to an affiliate of for £325 million on a debt-free, cash-free basis, further simplifying its operations and reducing exposure to non-core segments. More recent developments in 2024 and 2025 reflected continued adaptation to weak market conditions and international underperformance.
