About Marshalls plc

Marshalls plc is a leading UK manufacturer of products and solutions for the built environment, listed on the London Stock Exchange (FTSE 100/250/AIM) in the United Kingdom under ticker MSLH.L. The company traces its origins back to the 1890s, when Solomon Marshall began supplying stone from Yorkshire. Over time, Marshalls evolved from a traditional stone supplier into a diversified building-materials group focused on landscaping, drainage, masonry, roofing and solar-enabled roof systems. Today, the group operates through three main divisions. Marshalls Landscape Products is the UK leader in innovative concrete hard landscaping products, serving construction, home-improvement and landscape markets. Marshalls Building Products supplies concrete drainage systems, concrete bricks, ready-to-use mortars and aggregates. Marley Roofing Products is a market leader in pitched roofing systems, offering clay and concrete tiles, timber battens, roof accessories and roof-integrated solar solutions. This mix gives Marshalls broad exposure across new-build, repair and maintenance, and public infrastructure spending. The company’s headquarters are in Elland, West Yorkshire, and it operates a national network of manufacturing and distribution sites across the UK. Its geographic footprint is therefore primarily domestic, making it a leveraged play on UK construction activity rather than an export-led industrial business. Competitive positioning is supported by strong brand recognition, a wide product range, technical support capabilities and an increasing emphasis on sustainable solutions, including lower-carbon bricks, advanced drainage and solar roofing technology. Recent developments are important for investors. In its 2025 year-end reporting, Marshalls posted revenue of £632.1 million, up from £619.2 million in 2024, while adjusted operating profit was £56.4 million. Management highlighted a return to revenue growth and continued execution of its “Transform & Grow” strategy, despite subdued end markets. The company also made a strategic decision in 2025 to exit the UK natural stone landscaping business, reflecting a shift toward more consistent, performance-led product lines. More recently, Marshalls announced the appointment of Simon Bourne as CEO in 2026, alongside routine RNS Director/PDMR shareholding notifications expected of a UK-listed company with active governance and disclosure processes.
