A timeline of our history
IBMG is the largest building materials distributor in the South of England, formed through more than 20 acquisitions made since the start of 2018. While IBMG has retained many of the strong local brands across its business, it operates as one integrated company led by a single management team. We are proud of our heritage with many of the brands we own serving their local markets for over 100 years.
