Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
The NMBS has entered into a formal Agreement with Unity Green Deal to supply its Green Deal/ECO solution to NMBS’s 650 independent merchants, which represent over 2,000 outlets across the UK.
The NMBS were challenged to investigate how merchant members could respond to the Green Deal initiative and to source a practical model for members who wish to engage with the scheme.
Based in East Yorkshire, Unity Green Deal will be an accredited Green Deal Provider and advisory service, supplying systems and centralised services to enable independent local businesses to offer a Green Deal/ECO solution when the initiative is launched in October. It will provide merchants and their trade customers with a low cost “Plug and Play” solution to creating a Green Deal offering.
Unity Green Deal’s central management system tracks and monitors each project and enables real time access to the entire supply chain and customers.
John Johnson, managing director of Unity Green Deal, said: “We are delighted to be working with NMBS and their members. It’s our view that local independent companies with local knowledge and trusted businesses who genuinely understand the requirements of their local market will be the key players in this exciting new market. Our role is to provide the glue which links them together and support them to deliver an exceptional Green Deal/ECO service to their local domestic and none domestic customers”.
