The W Howard Group was established in 1958 as a traditional timber merchant, serving the local house building and construction industries in the North West. In 1995, the current Group chief executive, Jonathan Grant and his father Alan Grant decided to invest in plant to manufacture and distribute primed MDF mouldings.
The business has become one of the UK and Europe’s preferred partners to merchants, manufacturers and distributors within the construction and manufacturing industries and operates from three main UK sites. The head office is in Astley near Manchester featuring a 100,000 sq ft factory and a 80,000 sq ft distribution centre. There is a dedicated collection and distribution depot based in West Thurrock, which services the south east of the UK. In 2009 Newtown-based foil and veneer wrapping specialist, Polyco Limited was acquired.
