We’re always looking for new opportunities where our expertise and experience can provide customers with more products at the right specification and the right price.

In the UK, we moved into the electrical distribution sector for the first time, through the purchases of William Wilson and AC Electrical. In the USA, we followed suit with the acquisition of Efficient, an electrical supplier based in Las Vegas. In both instances, we're giving customers more opportunities to become - and remain - Wolseley customers.
In the Spring, Brossette and PBM opened a joint facility "Batipole" in Lannion, France, allowing customers to purchase from one location building materials from PBM's Reseau Pro brand, electrical products from Brossette's CDL brand and plumbing and heating equipment from Brossette. The French businesses will continue to innovate to find ways to meet their customers' needs.
High volume, production builders in the western States of the USA are increasingly demanding a turnkey installation service from suppliers - they need the people who provide the frames to also install equipment throughout the build project.
Stock Building Supply evolved its business model to meet this new demand, shaping its service to win business from a new set of customers by providing the products and services they need, how and where they need them.
