H&AMECHANICAL STEPOUT INMEMORYOFFOUNDER Big-hearted staff at H&A Mechanical Services have pounded the pavement to raise a phenomenal £20,000 for a local mental health charity. Over 60 employees, family and friends donned their running/walking shoes to take part in the Belfast City Marathon in memory of the company’s founder, Hugh McWilliams. H&A, based in Draperstown, Co Londonderry, was blown away by the total raised and thanked all those involved, stressing how much the money would mean to people in the local community. The company chose mental health organisation STEPS as its partner for this fantastic event. And the cherry on top; H&A also received an award for entering the most teams (13) in this year’s Belfast City Marathon. Established in 1993, H&A has grown from a payroll of 6 people to an employee base of over 200. www.hamechanicalservices.com

SAINT-GOBAINSETTOEXIT UKPLUMBINGMARKET Saint-Gobain has agreed the sale of three of its remaining four UK distribution brands specialized in plumbing, heating and sanitaryware products. Wolseley UK is expected to complete the acquisition of Neville Lumb, DHS and Bassetts from Saint-Gobain in early 2022. The company has also entered into exclusive negotiations with Wolseley UK for the sale of Ideal Bathrooms, its remaining UK distribution brand. Together, these four brands employ 485 people and have 25 outlets, generating a turnover of approximately €130 million in 2020. On successful completion of these transactions, given the divestment of Graham (turnover of approximately €260 million in 2020, across 130 outlets) in August 2021, Saint-Gobain will no longer have any distribution brands specialised in plumbing, heating and sanitaryware products in the UK.
