Business
James Latham plc is a leading independent importer and distributor of timber, wood-based panel products, and decorative surfaces in the UK and Ireland. Founded in 1757 and headquartered in Hemel Hempstead, England, the company, which became a public limited company in 1900, operates 12 strategically located depots across the UK and Ireland to serve trade customers including contractors, merchants, designers, and manufacturers in construction, housing, retail, transport, exhibition, and other sectors. Its core products and services encompass joinery-quality softwoods and hardwoods; wood-based sheet materials including plywoods, MDF, OSB, and decorative panels; melamine-faced and veneered panels; laminates and veneers; solid surface materials and acrylic stone surfaces; performance doors and door blanks; cladding and decking; mouldings, linings, and architraves; flooring; and value-added offerings such as CNC machining and CAD design services. The company maintains a strong commitment to sustainability as the first signatory to the Timber Trade Federation's Responsible Purchasing Policy, with all depots certified under FSC and PEFC schemes, and provides tools like a carbon calculator for product environmental impact. Recent developments include receipt of planning consent in 2025 for a £45 million national distribution center in East Anglia, comprising a 300,000 square foot warehouse to enhance supply chain control, product range expansion, and operational efficiency using warehouse management system technology; implementation and rollout of a warehouse management system starting at the Thurrock depot; purchase of its Scotland site and investments in melamine racking; and a rebranding of subsidiaries including Dresser Mouldings to Latham Timber Manufacturing, IJK to James Latham Ireland, and Abbey Woods to James Latham Dublin following 2019 acquisitions in Ireland. In the half-year to September 2025, revenue rose 5.5% to £196.8 million driven by volume growth, though operating profit dipped slightly to £11.1 million amid capital investments.
