James Burrell bolsters board leadership

North East and Yorkshire-based builders’ merchant James Burrell Builders Merchants has appointed Nick Richardson to its board of directors, marking a new chapter for the family-owned business.

Nick joins fellow directors Mark Richardson and Rob Richardson as the company continues to invest in its long-term growth ahead of its 150th anniversary in 2027.

He joined James Burrell in 2017, starting in the accounts team before moving into purchasing, gaining experience across financial operations, supplier relationships and stock management.

Nick’s appointment reflects the next generation of leadership within the firm as it continues to serve trade customers across the region.

Mark Richardson said: “We are delighted to welcome Nick Richardson to the board of directors. 

“As a family-run business, we take great pride in our heritage and the values that have guided us for generations. 

“We also remain committed to innovation and to meeting the evolving needs of the construction industry.
