"RS is our primary customer brand, recognised by designers, builders and maintainers of industrial equipment and operations around the world," said chief executive Lindsley Ruth.

The RS Group brings our businesses together under one brand, Ruth added, united behind a single purpose.

According to an early March statement, the company expects revenue to reach at least £2.54bn, a growth of 27% over the financial year 2021.
