Anco Storage, part of IWS Group, announces that it will merge with sister IWS Group company Beaverswood with effect from 1st April 2026, creating a single, stronger manufacturer and supplier for resellers and distributors across the UK and beyond.
Anco Storage, a trusted supplier of storage and workplace organisation products to the UK reseller market, will become part of Beaverswood from 1st April 2026. The Anco Storage product brand will continue in full, now sitting alongside the established Beaverswood range under a single manufacturer.
This move by IWS Group, the parent company of both Beaverswood and Anco Storage, is designed to streamline operations and deliver a simpler, more efficient experience for resellers. Customers who currently trade with both companies will benefit from a consolidated account, a single set of trading terms, and a single point of contact, reducing administrative complexity without any changes to the products or people they rely on.
Just as importantly, the merger is about continuity as well as improvement: the same products, the same people, and the same great service customers know and value will remain in place, now backed by a stronger combined operation.
By bringing the two businesses together, Beaverswood will also benefit from expanded warehousing capacity and increased supply chain resilience, helping to support reseller partners with even greater efficiency and reliability.
“This merger is the right move for our customers, our brands, and our teams. Beaverswood is an excellent business with shared culture and values, and I have every confidence that our reseller partners will be better served by this change. I’m proud of everything the Anco Storage team has built, and I leave the business in great hands.” – Stewart Bourn, Managing Director, Anco Storage
“We’re delighted to welcome Anco Storage into the Beaverswood family. Together, we can offer our reseller partners an even broader product portfolio, greater operational capacity, and a simpler way to do business. This is a genuinely exciting step forward, and I look forward to building on the strong foundations both businesses have established.” – Stephanie Gentle, Managing Director, Beaverswood
Stewart Bourn will step away from the business on 1st April 2026 following the completion of the transition. Stephanie Gentle will continue as Managing Director of Beaverswood, leading the combined business going forward.
