Managing director of Sheridan Fabricators John Blackburn will remain with the business.

The acquisition will support Howdens trade-only model and expansion into the higher priced kitchen segments where it has introduced furniture ranges, as well as increase the company’s manufacturing capacity.

In 2020 Howdens acquired the assets of a small solid surface fabricator which commenced full-scale manufacturing in April and the company reports a “strong” level of demand.

CEO of Howdens Andrew Livingston said: “The acquisition of Sheridan gives us significant additional capacity and experience in the solid surface business.

“We have worked closely with Sheridan for many years, and we are delighted to welcome them to Howdens.

“They are a trusted partner and great fit with our existing capabilities, and we are excited about the significant growth opportunities that lie ahead.”

Howdens has announced it is gearing up for positive sales in Spring, having increased warehouse capacity and made a “significant” investment in stock.
