More benefits at your fingertips
Save Time
Time isn't only of the essence, its valuable
Involving us as your merchant at the enquiry stage costs nothing more than the time to contact us.
This is truly beneficial if departments/individuals are under-resourced or over-stretched. Engaging ourselves as your merchant saves time and money in committing extra resources to the task at hand, and eliminates the need for any extra overheads.
Free Delivery
We offer free local delivery via our own transport, within the Manchester M60 ring road area and also service the entire country with next day and same day deliveries where possible.
Purchasing power
We have long standing working relationships with our suppliers, manufacturers and distributors built over years of trading, allowing us to purchase goods and services with extremely competitive discounts.
Our purchasing ability allows us to pass those discounts onto our customers on a regular basis, benefiting customer's' budgets or spend.
Is your purchasing ability restricted?
If you have sourced a product or service yourself but are unable to purchase due to company restrictions or similar, then we can facilitate the purchase on your behalf for which we quote a standard handling charge.
This is done on a case by case basis and is typically represented as a percentage of the order. For further information on this, call our sales team who will be happy to discuss your requirements.
Behind the scenes
After you put your enquiry into the hands of our expert sourcing team that's when the real benefits can be felt.
The team will either be able to advise straight away if a product/service is available, or in a lot of cases, they go away and start the search on your behalf and you will be contacted when the information has been gathered.
By entrusting us with your enquiry or tender, you reclaim valuable time. We eliminate the hours typically spent sourcing or re-sourcing work, allowing you to focus on your day while we handle the details efficiently in the background.
