Member companies of h&b Group operate from branches located across England, Scotland and Wales. Recently the Group has been involved in the process of merging with the membership of Western Builders Merchants. As a result, its membership, branch locations and throughput has grown considerably. It now continues to grow with more strategically positioned merchants. The Members and Member Locations pages are always regularly updated to reflect changes.
