Founded in 1995, Howdens has grown from just 14 depots to more than 700 across the UK and Europe thanks to the success of our trade-only model. We only sell to trade who have the expertise to ensure that our products are fitted to the highest possible standard.

Our local depots build trusted partnerships with trade professionals, helping them to exceed their customers’ expectations and allowing their businesses and ours to profit from doing so.

What underpins this model is a powerful combination of locally empowered depot management and a dedicated supply chain that can deliver an in-stock product framework that is both efficient and cost-effective.

Howdens purpose is to help trade customers achieve exceptional results for their customers and to profit from doing so. When our customers succeed, we succeed.
