More than just a purchasing partner
We work with over 10,000 businesses across the UK, but we also own and operate a number of leisure, hospitality and catering businesses, and have done for over 65 years.
Our portfolio now comprises multiple sites across the South West, and includes the Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare.
Using our first-hand experience, our focus is to save you time and money, but we do so much more than just that... Our team will share industry insights, consumer trends, expert advice and best practises to support your business growth.
Supporting single and multi-site operators
Originating in Weston-super-Mare with a handful of family-run businesses, we quickly identified an opportunity to combine our purchasing power in order to secure more competitive prices from both local and national suppliers.
As our businesses became more successful, we began to extend our pricing agreements beyond our own estate. Over time, what started as a local consortium, developed into a nationwide buying group.
We now support single and multi-site operators across the country with a team of 60 category specialists and we operate the largest network of procurement managers in the UK.
Helping independent operators compete with national chains
As owners of a portfolio of small businesses, we are all too familiar with the pressures that businesses face from national chains; and for that reason, we’re doing all we can to give independent, family-owned and multi-site operators the chance to enhance margins and compete with the larger chains and national brands.
Through trade partnerships with organisations such as the BIAZA (British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums), National Farm Attractions Network (NFAN), AIP (Association of Indoor Play), Garden Centre Association and Foremost Golf, we continue to expand our membership which allows us to continue to negotiate better deals on more products, in more areas and offer ever increasing levels of service.
We understand
Controlling costs is important to all businesses, but for smaller businesses it often means so much more.
We understand that improving your purchasing and identifying cost efficiencies could be the deciding factor on whether you book a family holiday, if you have to make cuts to create a leaner team or whether your employees hits their targets.
