Business
Grafton Group plc operates as a leading international distributor of building materials and construction-related products to trade professionals and retail customers. The company functions through three primary segments: Distribution, which supplies building and plumbing materials including timber, insulation, electricals, and HVAC products to tradespeople for residential repair, maintenance, improvement, and new build construction; Retailing, which runs DIY and home improvement stores offering products for home, garden, and related needs; and Manufacturing, which produces dry mortar and other sustainable building materials primarily in Great Britain. Its brand portfolio encompasses Selco Builders Warehouse, Leyland SDM, TG Lynes, MacBlair, CPI EuroMix, and StairBox in the UK; Chadwicks and Woodie's in Ireland; Isero and Polvo in the Netherlands; Salvador Escoda S.A. in Spain; and IKH in Finland. Grafton Group plc maintains leading national and regional market positions across its geographies, with over 450 branches and approximately 10,000 employees serving professional trades, contractors, and retail consumers in residential, commercial, and repair markets. The company generates the majority of its revenue from the United Kingdom, followed by significant contributions from Ireland, the Netherlands, Finland, and Spain. Founded in 1902 and headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, Grafton Group plc listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2003 and pursues a strategy of organic growth complemented by accretive acquisitions funded through strong free cash flow generation. In recent developments, Grafton Group plc acquired Salvador Escoda, a leading national HVAC specialist distributor in Spain, on 30 October 2024, marking its entry into the Iberian market and contributing ten months of trading to the group's revenue growth in 2025; it also completed the bolt-on acquisition of HSS Hire Ireland in the first half of 2025, broadening the equipment rental offerings of its Chadwicks business in the Republic of Ireland. These transactions drove group revenue to £2.13 billion in the ten months to 31 October 2025, an 11.5% increase year-on-year, with pro-forma like-for-like growth of 5.7% supported by strong air conditioning and ventilation demand in Spain. Additionally, the company launched a sixth share buyback programme on 6 March 2025 for up to £30 million and remains on track for full-year 2025 adjusted operating profit aligning with consensus expectations of approximately £182 million to £185 million.
