Buying partners
Our approach
The personal touch, and a professional attitude, we care about your business and how you feel.
Our Buying Partner services have been specially developed to meet the purchasing requirements of small to midsized operations, typically single-site businesses. The services we provide cost absolutely nothing and there are no “membership” fees or joining charges. All goods are supplied at really competitive prices. It’s a simple concept that relies on many individuals purchasing together to achieve a lower cost.
Your profile
The existing buying profile will help determine how we can support you and how we will work together going forward.
It is important that we understand how you have purchased to date so we can recommend how you should buy in the future. In certain sectors the buying profile of operators will be similar but no two buying profiles will ever be the same, which is why we take a very personal approach to every client.
Partner buying
We like to carry out a full purchasing comparison, by category, which provides a complete overview and allows us to construct the most appropriate solution for you from day one.
And getting started couldn’t be simpler, just tell us you want to proceed and we sort out everything else. We provide you with a personal list of your supply partners and their contact details and you simply order in your usual way using the special account numbers we provide. You can trade online or not, the choice is up to you.
Once you’re up and running our Customer Relations Team review your buying arrangements on a regular basis and, with your approval, make changes to pricing and products as necessary.
All you have to do is enjoy the benefits from sharing in the collective agreements we have negotiated.
Need a quick fix?
If you want to see what we can deliver why not pick some of your top lines first and see how much we can save. With the ability to choose and change your own “top lines” on a regular basis coupled with amazing prices and service; there really is no reason why you shouldn’t change your current arrangements and make your bottom line grow right now!
