An Interview with… Steve Ramsay, EH Smith Civils Solutions

EH Smith Civils Solutions, a division of the historic EH Smith Builders Merchants, was named the 2025 Builders Merchants Awards “Civils Merchant of the Year.” The business has posted nearly a 50% sales increase over the past two years, driven by strong customer service and high staff retention. It recently opened a Design Centre in Birmingham and expanded its footprint with an 18‑acre site and fleet in North London. The company aims to become the leading independent civils merchant through apprenticeship growth and deeper collaboration across the EH Smith network.
