NBG Annual Conference and Supplier Awards
16 April 2012
F & P Wholesale recognised for supply excellence...
Leading distributor, F & P Wholesale, has been named as one of the UK’s top three suppliers to independent builders’ merchants for plumbing and heating products by the National Buying Group (NBG) at its Annual Conference and Supplier Awards.
Voted for by NBG members, the Awards aim to recognise key supplier ‘partners’ for their support based on certain criteria. These include service, value and commitment to NBG members, all of which help merchants gain market share in an increasingly competitive business environment.
F & P Wholesale made it into the prestigious top three list for its ‘One Tomorrow’ delivery promise, which guarantees next day delivery on a wide range of heating, plumbing and bathroom products - from industry leading brands to F & P’s exclusive own label Pro heating and Fressshbathroom ranges.
With 11 main distribution centres around the UK, the company was also recognised for consistent levels of service to all members of the NBG, no matter where they are based around the country.
Mark Earnshaw, Managing Director of F & P Wholesale, commented:
“We are delighted that F & P has been ranked amongst some of the top suppliers to NBG members for plumbing and heating products. We pride ourselves on the fact that we work very closely with our merchant customers and we are always mindful of their requirements -from offering products that are exclusive to independents to providing a wide variety of components and ancillary items that are essential for the installation trade.
“Most importantly, we understand that whilst having a comprehensive product offer is essential, this means nothing without great customer service to match. Our aim is to make customers’ lives easier on a daily basis. By putting ourselves in their shoes we can anticipate their exact requirements and tailor our service to suit them, which is how we continue to help keep our customers competitive in their markets.”
