Lords buys Nu-Line

Lords Builders Merchants is to open its twelfth branch in September 2021, and it’s first since listing on AIM, following the acquisition of the business and assets of Nu-Line Builders Merchants in Ladbroke Grove, West London.

Established in 1965, Nu-Line is an independent builder’s merchant specialising in the supply of general building materials. Lords will be assigned the Malton Road, NW10 site leases and will take on around 25 of Nu-Line’s employees.

The new branch will offer a full merchant stock range including bricks, blocks, landscaping, timber, sheet materials, as well as plumbing and heating, architectural ironmongery, bathroom showroom, decorating centre, and timber cutting services.

Branch manager Kevin Beecher, and his team will continue with the business.

Lords Group CEO Shanker Patel, said: “We are delighted to announce our first acquisition as a listed business. Nu-Line has a long heritage and a very strong customer base which will continue to be served in West London by Lords Builders Merchants. We have managed to save over 25 jobs and with our locations in W2 and NW10, Lords Builders Merchants will be a clear local leader in West London.”
