Established 19 years ago, Roofing Gear has three strategically located branches in Yeovil, Dorchester and Poole providing a comprehensive range of roofing products, insulation and associated materials.<\/p>\n

This latest acquisition provides IBMG\u2019s roofing division with further geographic coverage, increased product extension and a strong platform for further growth. Culturally both companies share a common vision, an independent ethos and a commitment to providing exceptional customer service.<\/p>\n

The roofing merchant will continue to trade as Roofing Gear.\u00a0 Jeremy Gear will remain in the business and work with Danny Spokes, managing director for IBMG\u2019s Roofing Division, to ensure the business\u2019 successful integration into the Group.<\/p>\n

Gear said: \u201cThis is a great next step for us.\u00a0 IBMG is the perfect custodian for Roofing Gear and this acquisition opens up an exciting new chapter for us all.<\/p>\n

\u201cRoofing Gear has come a long way since it was first established in 2004, and now as an IBMG-owned merchant I am confident it will flourish even further.\u00a0\u00a0It has an amazing team of 11; a very loyal customer\u00a0base, and our mission statement from day one \u2013 to provide our customers with the most comprehensive\u00a0 service a roofing merchant can offer \u2013 hasn\u2019t changed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to working with Danny to ensure our successful integration into the Group.\u201d<\/p>\n

Danny Spokes, managing director\u00a0IBMG\u2019s roofing division\u00a0said:\u00a0\u201cWe are delighted to welcome Roofing Gear, Jeremy and all his team to IBMG. This is an exciting time for IBMG\u2019s Roofing Division; as we scale up our offerings in terms of product, service, specialist roofing expertise and location.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martin Stables, CEO of IBMG said: \u201cThe backbone of IBMG is that we do not alter \u2018the DNA\u2019 of our acquisitions, we simply add our \u2018IBMG magic\u2019 to it \u2013 by sharing best practice from our entrepreneurial teams, adding top level professional support, and providing world-class systems and infrastructure to ensure exceptional service and products for customers at every branch.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result, IBMG has become the custodian of choice for merchants looking to the next stage of their development. This is particularly true for merchants like Roofing Gear \u2013 a merchant that has built a strong reputation and wants its legacy to continue and prosper.\u201d<\/p>\n
