NMSB joins NBG

New Milton Sand and Ballast has joined National Buying Group as a new merchant Partner. The company, based in southwest Hampshire, and, as well as a merchant operation, produces and supplies aggregates, concrete, sporting materials and waste management services.

Richard Froggett, merchant manager at NMSB said: “The merchanting side of the business had grown to a point where we needed the support of an organisation like NBG.”

One of the aspects of NBG that impressed Froggett, he added, was the One Partner, One Voice philosophy of NBG. He said: “We’re glad to be part of a group where people are willing to learn from our experiences and listen to our ideas. It’s a very democratic approach, like our own ethos. When we were in the early talks about joining, we spoke with other NBG Partners to get their view. What really stood out is the level of transparency that comes with each deal – it means that everybody knows what’s expected of them and what they can expect in return.”

Phil Bonar, new partner development and recruitment manager at NBG, added: “It’s been great working with the team at NMSB and we’re really excited to see their merchanting division go from strength to strength in the coming years. They’ve already embraced NBG’s values and will no doubt be a great asset to the group.”
