Sussex-based roofing merchant Brian Gow Roofing Supplies has become an NBG Partner, seeking to strengthen the business through better deals and the support of a strong network of Suppliers and other like-minded independent merchants.
Operating out of five depots, Brian Gow joins a strong existing contingent of roofing merchants within NBG, including Dontell Roofing Supplies in West London, Alltype Roofing Supplies in South-East London and Henshaws Roofing & Building Supplies in Manchester. The company specialises in hand-made and machine-made roof tiles and also has a heavyside division which covers all aspects of building materials. Both of these arms of the business stand to benefit from Partnership with NBG.
Led by Managing Director Brian Gow, Technical Director Steve King and Commercial Director Keith Page, the firm has prior experience of working with buying groups. And when looking for ways to bolster the business, the leadership team discussed the topic with other merchants who told them about the benefits NBG could bring.
Following these discussions, Keith was put in touch with Phil Bonar, NBG’s Head of New Partner Development and Recruitment. Keith said: “We had already made up our minds before talking to Phil. Speaking to roofing merchants and seeing how NBG helps them, it wasn’t a question of whether this is right for us or not. Instead, we were asking: why didn’t we do this ages ago?”
Approximately a month after meeting with Phil, Brian Gow was officially welcomed into NBG.
Keith continued: “Lots of new Suppliers have reached out to begin trading with us and existing Suppliers are seeing us in a new light. The difference in buying through NBG is financially far better.”
Phil Bonar, NBG’s Head of New Partner Development and Recruitment, added: “We’re very happy that Brain Gow is now an NBG Partner. Keith’s experience with another group meant he could quickly see the differences that make NBG special and how his business will benefit. We’re looking forward to seeing them grow with our support and excellent deals.”
