Here at MIDFIX, we have kicked off 2025 with another significant investment by acquiring Hobby Homes, a long-established and highly respected supplier of fixings, cable management, and supports based in London. This marks the second major investment of the year, following our recent announcement of relocating the MIDFIX HQ to Power Park. These investments demonstrate our ongoing commitment to advancing the industry through growth and innovation. This strategic partnership is a significant step in advancing our mission of providing quality, innovation, and outstanding service to the construction and mechanical & electrical (M&E) industries.
The combined 110 years of expertise reflects a shared legacy of industry excellence. Both organisations share a steadfast commitment to quality, innovation, and customer service, making this partnership a natural fit.
As Adrian Fowler, Managing Director of MIDFIX, put it:
"This is an exciting moment for both companies. By combining our strengths, we are not only expanding our capabilities but also reinforcing our commitment to advancing the people and industries we serve. We look forward to building on the solid foundations of both businesses to deliver even greater value to our customers."
This acquisition allows us to preserve the valued relationships Hobby Homes has nurtured over the years while enhancing the ways we serve our customers.
With Hobby Homes’ strong presence in London, we are now well-positioned to deliver faster, more efficient service to key areas across the UK. Hobby Homes will benefit from our innovative products, including the MX Tested Channel System and MX-R rooftop support solutions, adding greater depth to their technical offerings.
David Tottman, Director of Hobby Homes, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership:
"It is essential that businesses operating within the construction industry whether they are manufacturers, suppliers or contractors, maintain a steady and continual direction of improvement and development. Over the past few years, we as a company have been searching for solutions to the increased demands from our customers and I am delighted to say that joining forces with MIDFIX and the vast array of resources and products that they have to offer will not only fulfill these demands but lead to an exciting future not only for us but also our many customers."
As part of our thoughtful approach to integration, both companies will continue to operate independently over the next 12 months. This ensures continuity of service while we align operations to deliver even greater value to our customers. Together, we aim to set new benchmarks for excellence in the construction and M&E industries.
This partnership marks a major step forward in our growth journey. By combining our expertise, resources, and innovative solutions, we are excited to serve our customers better, expand our offerings, and continue advancing the construction industry.
The acquisition of Hobby Homes is more than just a business move—it’s a testament to our commitment to growth and excellence. Together, we’re building a future where innovation meets reliability, ensuring our customers benefit every step of the way.
