It means we can source and buy our products from various suppliers and wholesalers, which in turn means we always offer you the customer the best possible deal. Trading for this length of time has given us a very healthy financial status – nothing is leased or rented which gives us a very low cost infrastructure.

We have partnered the majority of our business with one of the most efficient wholesaler supply chains in the U.K. This is designed to take the cost out, enhance our purchase price and provide a national storage and distribution facility. It has 8 Regional Distribution Centres and £30 Million of stock holding across 16,000 lines, across 300 vendors and a turnover of £330 million.
