Chadwicks Group, Ireland's leading builders' merchants has announced that Garveys in Roscommon has been rebranded to Chadwicks.

Garveys has a history in the region and can trace its roots back to Patrick and Judy Garvey who started the business from their home in Ballyhard Co. Galway in 1861. The original business included farm supplies, grocery, drapery and of course building supplies. Successive generations of the family continued the business and in 1957, Garveys expanded into Ballinasloe and Tuam. Trucks carrying the slogan 'Here comes Garvey – There goes Garvey' were a common sight on the roads of Galway at the time.

In 1984, Sean Garvey expanded the business into Roscommon when he purchased John Costelloe's on Castle Street. As the business continued to grow Garveys moved to its Lanesboro road premises in the 1990s. In 2005, it became part of Heiton Buckley and today is the next step in the company’s rich history as it joins the Chadwicks family.

The announcement is part of an ongoing nationwide rebrand by Chadwicks Group which commenced in 2018. Chadwicks in Roscommon is the 23rd branch to have undergone extensive refurbishment.

While there are changes and enhancements to the branch, the team of 14 highly trained merchanting specialists remain the same and customers can expect to still receive the expert product knowledge they have come to enjoy over the years.

The upgraded bathroom showroom houses the latest and greatest bathroom suites and products from top name brands, reflecting current trends and innovations in the category. Convenient plant, tool and equipment hire is readily available from the expert team at the Sam Hire desk.
