Our Suppliers
In line with our global sourcing policy, our suppliers are increasingly international but with the ability to focus on local market needs. These are manufacturers with market-leading brands and commodities that produce quality products and are often involved in supplying many of our operating companies in different countries.
We are starting to work with them on a continental level - coordinating our purchases from leading branded manufacturers both across Europe and North America, rather than purely on a country by country level.
By doing this, as well as focusing on the specific needs of our customers in our many local markets, we can deliver the broadest range of products.
We are also increasingly coordinating our purchasing of commodity products such as copper pipes and aluminium sheeting so we can leverage the scale of our purchasing volumes. It also means higher availability of the product for our customers.
