Builders Merchant Journal Industry Awards Finalists 2025

Tobermore is delighted to be a finalist in the ‘Landscaping Supplier of the Year’ category at the Builders Merchant Journal (BMJ) Industry Awards 2025, reflecting our commitment to making hard landscaping easy for both our merchant partners and customers.  

The BMJ Industry Awards are an annual celebration of excellence across the builder’s merchant sector, recognising the contribution of merchants, suppliers and individuals to the industry. 

This year’s glittering awards ceremony will be held in the Leandro Royal Hotel Tower Bridge in London in collaboration with the Institute of Builders Merchants (IOBM) on Thursday 25th September.  

The BMJ awards are celebrated for their decision-making process which places the power in the hands of the builder’s merchants – professionals working in the industry day in and day out. Tobermore prides itself on its tireless efforts to support our network of stocking merchants, and our nomination for Landscaping Supplier of the Year is a testament to the hard work our passionate merchant sales team put in daily. 

Tobermore provides hard landscaping products to a network of over 450 merchant stockists in the UK & Ireland – from paving blocks for driveways and slabs for patios to retaining walls for creating spacious gardens and kerbs for a stunning final touch.   

We know the challenges our merchant customers face, so we take a proactive approach to helping them drive sales and win business. Our merchant sales team has been described as “like having an employee we don’t have to pay”, such is their dedication to joining merchants for joint call days and assisting busy staff with our design services.  

Richard Wardle, Head of GB Merchant Sales at Tobermore, commented: 

“It’s fantastic to be recognised amongst the finalists at the BMJ Industry Awards 2025. The nomination for the ‘Landscaping Supplier of the Year’ category speaks volumes about our commitment to making hard landscaping easy for our merchant stockist partners.

The merchant sales team at Tobermore are always at the end of the phone and ready to help our stocking merchants, whether it’s with our business-winning design services suite, stock enquiries, joint call days or whatever our customers need. We go the extra mile to be a hard landscaping supplier that provides answers, not more questions.

We look forward to celebrating the merchant sector with the rest of the finalists and wish everyone the best of luck on the night!”
