Our Head Office & main warehouse based in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, and carries in excess of 15,000 lines. It is also the local agent for BOC Gases for the area. Our branch in Immingham again carries comprehensive stocks of the above and serves North East Lincolnshire including Grimsby & the surrounding areas.
As part of the company’s expansion, 1996 saw the acquisition of the Hull based company, Industrial Supplies (Hull) Ltd. Since this acquisition their Hull premises have undergone many changes and recently a warehouse extension was added to enable their stockholding to be increased. Their range of products has been augmented with many Humber Merchants stock lines. They offer a full service to industry north of the River Humber. It is also the local agent for BOC Gases for the area.
Our branch at Kirk Sandall in Doncaster opened in 2003 and has proved to be popular in South Yorkshire. This depot carries a reduced range of stock and specializes in Architectural Ironmongery, Hand & Power Tools, Workwear, Consumables, and Engineering supplies. A power tool repair workshop was added to these premises in 2006 following the acquisition of the long established Doncaster business D C Hobbs.

We are able therefore to source the majority of your timber requirements including Rough Sawn & PSE Timber, Tanalised Timber, Hardwoods, plus Doors, Windows, Skirting & Mouldings. G. Empson & Sons are also manufacturing joiners and would be pleased to quote for example, Staircases & bespoke joinery.
