Guernsey-based plumbing and heating specialist, Duquemin & Ozanne has joined independent builders merchant buying group NBG, the first new partner for the group this year.
Servicing the Bailiwick of Guernsey, Duquemin & Ozanne offers design services – working with architects, plumbing engineers and homeowners to provide bespoke heating systems.
Duquemin & Ozanne managing director Martyn Duquemin said: “Knowing other NBG Partners meant we could get a more objective view of how NBG works and how it has helped them. Sitting down with Phil Bonar, NBG’s head of new partner development and recruitment, we saw just how much we stood to benefit with NBG.
“It’s good to be in a group where we can have our say on the deals and get a more informed understanding of the industry. We now have a large network of new connections, all facing the same challenges we are, that we can share ideas with and learn what’s working for others in our sector. We’re looking forward to growing those relationships and hope that the other Partners will be able to help us as much as we can help them.”
Bonar added: “Martyn has jumped into NBG with both feet, attending meetings and participating in discussions that will help determine how NBG responds to changes within the plumbing and heating sector. We’re excited to see Duquemin & Ozanne go from strength to strength as they take advantage of the resources, deals and support NBG has to offer.”
