Business Details
UK's Leading Hardware Retail Network
As a dealer-owned organisation, we represent the largest network of independent hardware and DIY stores in the UK. Our mission focuses on supplying independent retailers with quality products and services while ensuring they operate efficiently and profitably. We differentiate ourselves from conventional distributors by prioritizing retail customer needs rather than maximizing our own profit. Through our significant purchasing power and efficient systems, we enable retailers to compete against major high street names and DIY superstores by offering exceptional value for money. Our professional buyers source products globally to ensure up-to-date offerings at excellent prices.With 400+ members including hardware retailers, housewares shops, cook shops, ironmongers and garden centres, we combine buying power to deliver unbeatable deals to consumers. Our national distribution network operates from Barnstaple and Bedford, supporting stores with regular consumer brochures and monthly promotions to keep customers informed about the latest trends. Each store, often family-owned and managed, provides personal attention, first-class customer service and expert product knowledge.
