Hants’ oldest independent builder’s merchant acquires window manufacturer Futuremost

Elliotts has acquired Futuremost Group, a manufacturer and installer of bespoke aluminium and PVCu window units based in Portsmouth.

The business now sits alongside other brands in the Elliots portfolio, including Elliotts Builder’s Merchants, Elliotts Living Spaces, and Elliotts Premier Roofing.

Futuremost will continue to operate under its own name and retains all 32 current staff.

Dave Barrett, managing director of Futuremost, said, “Joining the Elliotts group gives us an exciting opportunity to grow alongside a business with a strong heritage.

“Our focus remains on delivering a first-class customer experience, supported by both our trusted brands.”

Elliotts, which was recently crowned Employer of the Year at The Business Magazine’s Solent 250 Awards, has been family-owned and run since 1842.

Operating from its head office at Millbank Wharf in Northam, Southampton, it supplies a range of building materials to both trade and public customers across the South.

Tom Elliott, CEO of Elliotts, added: “Our goal is to become a complete one-stop shop for our customers, and the acquisition of Futuremost is a significant step towards that.

“This move expands our product range and strengthens our position in the construction market.

“Futuremost’s values and reputation for quality align perfectly with ours.

“With 37 years of industry expertise and a loyal customer base, they’re a great fit for Elliotts.

“I’m looking forward to working together to build a stronger business.”
