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.
