    Company History

    HISTORY

     

    Hancock & Brown (Timber) Ltd is Swansea's longest established independent merchant. 

     

    The business was founded in 1978 by Wyndham Brown and Martyn Hancock, both were former employees of Gregor Bros Timber Merchants. 

     

    Nigel Brown joined 1978, Anthony Hancock 1980, David Brown 1981. 

     

    Since 1987 Hancock & Brown has been in the ownership of Wyndham Brown, Nigel Brown who joined 1978, David Brown in 1981; Phillip Brown was employed by the company from 1988 until 2000 when he left to start his own business. 

     

    During 1991 the business expanded, keeping a much larger range of general building products, this was further increased in 1994 with the acquisition of further premises. 

     

    In 2009 Hancock & Brown relocated to a new purpose built 34,000 sq foot warehouse on a 3 acre site where our timber stocks have substantially increased.

     

    We have also opened a Wood-Burning Stove Showroom, a much improved DIY store, and a wider range of Landscaping / Gardening Products. 

     

    At Hancock & Brown we pride ourselves on our high standards of both customer service and the products we offer, we are truly a one stop shop for every building product.
