Company History

A history of success

Established in 1968 in Burnley, James Hargreaves (Plumbers Merchants) Ltd has grown to be the largest bathroom and plumbing supplies merchant in the North West of England.

Our success in providing high quality products and service over the last forty years has allowed us to grow steadily, establishing a further 24 plumbing depots and three showrooms across Lancashire and Yorkshire.

We’ve made a name for ourselves in supplying high quality plumbing and bathroom products to tradesmen and the general public for four decades. At James Hargreaves we've always aimed to provide convenient solutions for all our customers’ plumbing, bathroom and energy problems.

2009 saw a major leap in the way we do business. A major rebranding of the company saw three separate entities form under the banner of the James Hargreaves Group; James Hargreaves Bathrooms, James Hargreaves Plumbing and James Hargreaves Renewables.

With three clear brand identities under one company and a 40 year pedigree of providing quality, service and value James Hargreaves continues to go from strength to strength, which can only be a good thing for our customers.

Over forty years of benefits for our customers.
