Supporting builder’s merchants
We recognise the challenges facing merchants – customer demand, time pressures and unusual requests. With huge stocks, rapid deliveries and a wide variety of timber, mouldings, cladding, sleepers, panels and solid surfaces – James Latham stock it, so you don’t have to.
As one of the UK and Ireland’s largest independent distributors, with a longstanding reputation for delivering quality products and exceptional service via our 14 local depots, we’re already working with many of the leading merchants in the UK – both chains and independents - helping them stay on top of customer demand.
With a history reaching back over 265 years, Lathams are well known for being innovators. We consistently push the boundaries of materials selection, from our origins in timber products, panels and door blanks, through to the modern day, where we sit as one of the sectors’ most recognised suppliers of cutting edge materials technologies, including decorative laminates, veneers, thermoplastics and acrylics.
For merchants, our pioneering and reliable reputation holds many benefits. As well as being your first port of call for standard products such as OSB, MDF and plywood, we also hold a huge range of exclusive and specialist ranges. With James Latham by your side you never need to turn your back on a sales opportunity.
