Grant and Stone History
 

Grant & Stone is an independent family run merchant for all the trades!

In 1987 Bob & Sue Grant and Richard & Sue Stone (already the owners of a successful plumbers merchants in High Wycombe) heard of the possible sale of a run down builders merchants in the centre of the town.  One week after this, they were the new owners renaming the business Grant-Milner Ltd.  One year later, the plumbers merchant was incorporated in to the builders merchant and the company was renamed Grant & Stone Ltd.

The friendly attitude and great service offered by the company soon helped it establish itself as the leading builders merchant in High Wycombe.  To complement this, in 1994, a decorators merchants was added to the existing site in Baker Street offering an extensive range of paints and decorating materials.

In 1996, the company further expanded, purchasing a well established builders merchant in Chalfont St Peter.  Again, by concentrating on providing customers with the best possible service, complimented by competitive prices, the small yard has grown in to one of our biggest success stories.

1997 saw us going back to our roots and opening an independent plumber's merchant in the Vale Industrial Centre, Aylesbury.  This has not only opened up a new market for us in Aylesbury but also strengthened the existing plumbing operation in High Wycombe.

The turn of the new millennium saw Grant & Stone branch out into the electrical distributor market.  A branch was opened up on the Cressex Business Park in High Wycombe, which to date is exceeding all expectations and is a great asset to the company.

Due to demand for plumbing & heating at our Baker Street depot, and our commitment to customer service, in 2001 it was decided to open a new dedicated plumbing and heating branch at the Wye Estate off the London Road in High Wycombe.  This new outlet enabled us to greatly improve our service to plumbing & heating customers, while at the same time we will be able to dedicated more space and resources to the supply of building from our Baker Street branch.

The newest addition to the company came in January 2002 when we opened a new dedicated heavy side building branch in Slough.  This new outlet has enabled us to not only improve our service and gain new customers but also enhance our service to existing customers, while at the same time expand our product ranges and resources.
