About Mica

Mica is a co-operative voluntary trading group owned by its members who are all first class independent hardware stores. It is retailer owned and directed, and management run. Mica was set up in the UK in 1995/6 by two former senior members of staff at the BHF (British Hardware Federation), David Braun and Belinda Barnard. The former was Manager Director of Mica from its inception to 2005, and Belinda was MD from 2005-2009.
