About the Company

Travis Perkins

UK building materials wholesaler and retailer

Travis Perkins is a large UK supplier of building materials and home improvement products. It grew from two family businesses (Perkins & Co and Travis timber importers) that merged in 1988 and expanded through acquiring many other businesses, including Wickes in 2005, to serve both tradespeople and DIY customers. Its operations center on distributing a wide range of products—timber, bricks, plaster, plumbing and heating, decorating, tools, and related building supplies—through a network of branches and direct-to-consumer channels, plus online ordering. The company differentiates itself by its scale, diversified portfolio of brands and outlets, and a strong emphasis on growth through acquisitions that widen its geographic reach and product offerings. Its goal is to remain a leading UK building materials and home improvement group by expanding its reach, product range, and service capabilities across both trade and consumer markets.
