National Buying Group (NBG) has appointed Paul Harrington to the role of category buyer to improve deals as well as Partner-Supplier relationships.
Having worked with NBG previously at Buildit Gloster as a partner before joining NBG directly as a category buyer in 2026, Harrington has spent over 25 years in the builders’ merchant sector, giving him a clear understanding of the opportunities and challenges NBG partners face.
Harrington comments; “My priority is our partners: listening to them and making sure NBG delivers real, measurable value for their businesses. Over the next 12 months I want to improve our partners’ buying, help strengthen their market positions and grow our partner network, while building stronger supplier relationships that support them in what remains a challenging market.”
