Marshalls acquired roof manufacturer Marley for £535 million in April 2022, expanding beyond landscaping into roofing solutions. The company operates Marshalls NV in Belgium, covering Benelux and Northern France. In January 2026, Simon Bourne took on the post of CEO on a permanent basis, providing leadership continuity.
