You will be more limited in choice with plywood as many merchants now seem to stock MDF sheets instead.

I live in M/cr too and use Arnold Laver(timberworld) Irlam. Here is a link to their sheet materials page,which may help you.

No offence meant, but if you do a search you are looking for veneered or faced ply.

For inside and dry use MDF is OK and easier to work with than ply.

What are you making with it?

I hope that Lavers in M/C is better than in Sheffield or Chesterfield. I found them to be very expensive and hopelessly inefficient. When we stopped using them a few years back I had David Laver on the phone telling me everything would change if I gave them another go, so I gave them another go and they b*llsed up the first order.
If you are looking for veneered ply I would phone round local timber merchants for the best price. Even Travis Perkins should be able to get it in for you.
