The closure follows the sale of the builder’s yard, with Bond Wolfe confirming a bid of £1.25 million.
While the Solihull site has shut down, Mahoney’s has assured customers that its Streetly location will continue operating. Throughout its decades of service, Mahoney’s has been more than just a supply outlet—it has been a workplace where young people gained valuable experience, staff formed lasting bonds, and customers found reliable support.</description></item></channel></rss>
