Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
Swansea based Phoenix Plumbing Supplies has joined buying group The IPG, bringing its total number of members up to 130.
Founded seven years ago, Phoenix Plumbing Supplies, like so many IPG members, are an independent plumbing merchant with plans to grow. It has outgrown its current premises, which includes a small bathroom showroom.
Robin Beal, MD of The IPG said: “We are delighted to welcome Phoenix Plumbing Supplies into The IPG family, our comprehensive membership package helps independent merchants like Phoenix to flourish and meet their growth ambitions.”
The IPG works closely with its broad network of suppliers to negotiate deals, which ensure lower prices, lower minimum orders, group offers and improved terms for merchants.
“We are a small independent business with plans to grow,” explains Jason Hurford, Phoenix Plumbing Supplies. “We felt The IPG gives us a great chance to partner with suppliers for good prices, good service and good, reliable turnaround.”
