About Us

The late chairman John Nicholls founded the company in 1965. The business is based at Overthorpe Road, Banbury, Oxfordshire on a 2.5-acre site, that is now the company's head office and the main administrative resource of the company.

The continuity as a family business is assured by sons Andrew and Philip who together drive Nicholls forward with the commitment and levels of customer service to which all our customers, retail and trade, have become accustomed. 

The company maintains and continues to demonstrate its enviable position at the forefront of the industry with its commitment to the National Merchant Buying Society (NMBS) and the CEMCO Buying group. 

John Nicholls now has a network of 9 building materials and plumbing & heating branches throughout Oxfordshire and Warwickshire proudly employing over 125 people, with a turnover in excess of £26 million.
