Suppliers

We work with our suppliers to provide quality items at the best value for our customers.

We deal with most major suppliers within our industry to ensure our comprehensive range offers the right product at a price that's right for our customers. Our suppliers need to be able to work closely with our buying, warehouse, and distribution team to ensure the supply process is as efficient as possible.

We are happy to consider one-off, clearance or end-of-line items. We have experience in handling these types of products and can offer expedient decisions for suppliers looking for a quick and painless transaction. Our warehouses are capable of handling surplus stock deals of most quantities. Items are sold through our branch network only.

We are always looking for prospective new suppliers and products in our industry.
