Bradfords Building Supplies is helping to build sustainable communities in the South West


Bradfords understand the scale of the transformation required to the way in which we build to meet targets on decarbonisation, biodiversity, and environmental impact, whilst making sure that what we do build is fit for communities in the future.

At Bradfords we want to be the first and only place our customers need to come to get advice and the building materials they need to build sustainably.

Giles Bradford, Head of Sustainability at Bradfords, explains more:

Bradfords has been proudly serving communities across the South-West for over 250 years.
Since day one, we’ve always been family owned and today, with 48 branches across the West Country and a team of over 850, we’re just as committed to helping you find the right product for the job as we were back then. Our proposition has always evolved with the times, adapting to emergent needs and technologies. The ‘right building materials for the job’ has evolved too, and it’s our job to make sure that’s still what we provide.

At Bradfords, we understand the scale of the transformation required to the way in which we build to meet targets: on decarbonisation, biodiversity, and environmental impact, making sure that we help builders be able to build what is fit for communities in the future.

Giles Bradford, Head of Sustainability at Bradfords, explains: ‘as a merchant we have to be helping our customers; providing the right materials, supporting data, and guidance. To deliver the highest quality and performing buildings requires a detailed systems approach to ensure that they can meet the requirement, whether that be community sentiment, regulation or design.
