Ideal Bathrooms Grows Through Acquisition

Ideal Bathrooms has announced the acquisition of Glasgow based bathroom products distributor Inline Distribution. This further strengthens Ideal Bathrooms’ position as the UK's leading specialist bathroom distributor and provides the potential to improve service and delivery levels to the existing customer base throughout Scotland, as well as expanding the customer base.

Over the 20-years since its founding, Inline Distribution has built a very strong reputation for service and quality, enabling it to become a major force in bathroom products distribution throughout Scotland from the outer islands to the Scottish border.

‘The acquisition is the perfect strategic fit with Ideal Bathrooms’ says Ideal Bathrooms Managing Director Martin Carroll ‘Like ourselves, Inline Distribution is a specialist bathroom distributor with a total commitment to customer service. The acquisition gives us the opportunity to greatly increase the group's business in Scotland, working closely with new and existing customers and we will be investing substantially in new central systems, improving and extending warehouse facilities and increasing stockholding’.

Inline Distribution will continue to trade under its highly respected name and the family management will also continue the day-to-day running of the business.

‘Harnessing In-line's regional knowledge and strengths with our own services and systems will be beneficial for customers and the companies’ adds Martin ‘This is the first acquisition in our ambitious strategy for growth and follows substantial investment in our new distribution hub in Middlesex as well as the recent sales force expansion, all of which is geared to maintaining and improving our services to our customer’.
