E H Smith (Builders Merchants) Limited is a registered entity within the EH Smith Group, sharing the group's head office in Solihull. Its stated business, per official records, covers agency sale of timber and building materials, wholesale of construction materials and sanitary equipment, and retail of hardware, paints and glass. Evidence from the group's associated site shows trading as EH Smith Architectural Clay Products, supplying bricks, glazed bricks, brick cladding systems and architectural masonry to architects, developers and contractors across the UK, with design centres in London, Birmingham, Kent and Bristol. The company therefore operates within the group's building materials supply business rather than as a standalone manufacturer.
