Lawsons Appoints Allun Pittingale as Chief Executive Officer 

Allun Pittingale has joined Lawsons Group as Chief Executive Officer. The Lawsons Group is the largest independently owned builders’ merchant in the South East of England. It has thirty five branches trading under seven brands, over 700 staff and a dedicated steel fabrication plant, with a turnover of £175m turnover in its last published results. 

Allun brings a wealth of industry experience to Lawsons, including five years at IBMG (Independent Builders Merchant Group) most recently as COO; four years at Travis Perkins plc as Regional Managing Director (in addition to a previous eight-year stint with the company); and five years at Benchmarx Kitchens & Joinery culminating as Operations Director. 

Allun comments “This business has thrived through four generations of Lawson family ownership, and I’m proud to play my part in continuing that legacy — carrying forward the tradition of Family Values and Professional Service that has stood the test of time. 

From day one I’ll be out in our branches, meeting our people and getting to know our customers.
