Wolseley Group has announced it has acquired Bluebay, an independent distributor of specialist civil engineering and construction building products in the UK, for an undisclosed sum.
Bluebay operates from four locations across the UK and stocks more than 2,000 specialist products.

“We are delighted to add Bluebay to our portfolio of specialist businesses,” said Simon Gray, chief executive officer at Wolseley Group.
“Its expertise and provision of market-leading products, combined with its exceptional reputation and strong relationships, will complement our existing businesses and help to ensure first-class service and availability of products is provided to our customers.”
Nigel Howell, managing director at Bluebay, added: “The synergies surrounding this acquisition will provide an unparalleled product offering to our sector, supported by industry leading levels of customer service and technical support.”
Wolseley Group also announced the acquisition of R.E.S – Renewable Equipment Solutions.
It said R.E.S will enhance strategic growth, while enabling Wolseley to expand within the renewables space.
