A Brief History
Ian and John founded R&M Wholesale as a company focused on supplying the flooring trade with a complete range of wholesale products, leveraging their combined expertise to build a successful wholesale business.
1990 saw the acquisition of the first industrial unit at Lowman Way, Tiverton, which marked the beginning of R&M Wholesale's expansion, paving the way for numerous subsequent acquisitions and growth in their wholesale operations.
In 2007, R&M capitalized on growth opportunities by expanding its geographical reach through the establishment of a new
depot in Bristol,
strategically positioned
to serve Wales, the Midlands, and the M4 corridor, thereby enhancing its service coverage and market presence in these key regions.
It was in 2015, R&M updated their branding and corporate colors to modernize their visual identity and better reflect their innovative approach in the wholesale flooring distribution industry, introducing a
more contemporary design language across their delivery vehicles, marketing materials, website, and product packaging.
R&M Wholesale Ltd recently transitioned their corporate structure, aligning with their strategic growth plans and organizational restructuring efforts.

The Tiverton site experienced a devastating fire in 2022, but R&M responded swiftly, establishing temporary premises within four days and relocating to a new facility in Wellington, Somerset, within a month, demonstrating resilience and commitment to maintaining operations despite the disaster. Moving north allowed the company to consolidate operations by closing the Bristol depot and centralizing all activities at a single site, improving efficiency, reducing overhead costs, and streamlining management and logistics processes.
The Company acts in a professional manner in all of its dealings and puts its success down to good customer relationships built on an understanding of the needs of the Client, a high degree of professionalism in all aspects of its approach to the market place, above all, an enthusiastic team of people with a comprehensive knowledge of the products they sell.
R&M today emphasizes rigorous standards in environmental responsibility, ethical practices, and sustainability, reflecting a commitment to reducing ecological impact, promoting fair and transparent operations, and ensuring long-term sustainability in its business processes.
