Kevin Williams is the CEO at NMBS, bringing more than 30 years of experience in building materials and construction distribution.

He began his career as a management trainee at Travis Perkins in 1994 and went on to hold a wide range of branch, regional, operational and commercial leadership roles before becoming managing director at Headlam PLC.

Since joining NMBS, he has focused on building on the strong foundations already in place by helping merchants respond to changing market conditions, new technology, better use of data and the financial challenges shaping the future of the sector.

“The Builders’ Merchants Awards are important because they recognise the work happening across our sector that is making merchants stronger, more effective and more valuable to their customers.

Every day at NMBS, we get to see the value that comes from great ideas, strong supplier relationships and a real understanding of what merchants need, so it is fantastic to be able to support these prestigious awards”
