Materials Market Secures $2.6M to Transform the Construction Supply Chain Landscape

We’re excited to announce that Materials Market has successfully raised £2,600,000 in its latest funding round—a monumental milestone for a company that began as a bold idea in a small Japanese restaurant and has grown into one of the country’s premier online building materials platforms. Founded by Samuel and Andrew, Materials Market was born out of a real-world problem: the endless hassle of tracking down reliable suppliers to get building materials delivered on time and within budget. Frustrated by the inefficiencies in the old way of doing things while working for a small roofing contractor, the founders envisioned a solution that would bring together a network of trusted suppliers to offer unbeatable prices, faster deliveries, and exceptional service for both trade and DIY customers. The freshly secured capital will be dedicated to accelerating the company’s expansion plans—boosting technology infrastructure, enhancing the seamless integration of supplier networks, and expanding the team to support rapid growth. With a fully-fledged sales force, agile software development teams, and a passionate group of building material enthusiasts, Materials Market is poised to revolutionize the way customers purchase building products. The funding will further empower the business to optimize customer experiences and drive innovative initiatives that set new benchmarks in the industry. This announcement is not only a celebration of financial success but also a reaffirmation of our commitment to solving real-world challenges with smart, scalable solutions. Join us as we step into a future where efficiency meets opportunity, transforming centuries-old procurement processes and reshaping the building materials landscape for everyone involved.
