Russell Richard

Established in 1952, Russell Richard has grown from a small South Croydon operation to a leading supplier of specialist panel products. Our heritage in the timber trade dates back to 1928, and we have continually expanded our product range and facilities to meet evolving industry demands. We pride ourselves on offering an extensive selection of high-quality MDF, plywood, and decorative panels, including moisture-resistant, flame-retardant, and exterior options. As a family-run business, we prioritise customer satisfaction through impartial advice and competitive pricing, with no commission-based sales team. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our partnerships with renowned manufacturers like Medite and Finsa, ensuring we deliver innovative solutions for joinery needs. With warehouses in Croydon and a dedicated team of experienced professionals, we provide reliable service and technical support to London's craftsmen and institutions.

Over seven decades of industry experience, combined with strategic investments in storage capacity and product diversity, enable us to maintain market-leading efficiency and responsiveness. Our core values of quality products and exceptional service remain unchanged since our founding, supported by free delivery on orders over 150 and comprehensive product specifications for project teams. Despite economic challenges, we continue to strengthen our position through responsible growth and reinvestment in all business areas. Our third-generation family management ensures continuity in delivering specialist panel solutions while maintaining the personal touch that distinguishes us in the trade.
