The story
The company was established as Headlam, Sims & Coggins in 1948. First listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1988, it initiated a series of acquisitions from Hickson International plc early in 1992. It bought Mercado, a Leeds-based competitor, in 1996. Its international expansion began with the purchase of Lethem-Vergeer in the Netherlands also in 1996. In 2011, Headlam Group purchased a Scottish-based company, West Fife Flooring, for £1.2million.
On 1 September 2026, the board, having exhausted all its available facilities, announced its intention to appoint administrators.
