Timber company to distribute Hillhout and Holgard brands throughout UK.
After a review of its UK operations, Dutch-owned Outdoor Life Group has joined forces with M&M Timber Limited, which will see the Midlands-based company distribute brands Hillhout, Holgard and Outdoor Life Products throughout the UK.
M&M managing director Nigel Poyner said: "This is the biggest and most significant announcement we've ever made. Alongside Hillhout, Holgard and Outdoor Life Products, M&M Timber now has the enviable position of having a huge range of timber garden and leisure products that is unrivalled and quite simply second to none. It will, without doubt, have a far reaching impact on the UK market."
The garden and leisure sector currently accounts for more than a third of M&M Timber's turnover and the company has signed up more than 300 independent retail garden centres over the last two years.
A selection of Hillhout, Holgard and Outdoor Life Group ranges will be displayed on M&M's stand at this year's Glee.
Stocks of the Hillhout product range will be housed in a new warehouse development on M&M Timber's 22 acre site at Clows Top near Kidderminster.
