There’s no catch! Use our e-commerce site to buy or enquire on a growing range of competitively priced products and services at your convenience with free delivery to UK Mainland. All GBG members have access to our ‘direct from supplier’ terms so you’ll save money, but you’ll see some products require slightly larger purchase quantities or come on slightly longer lead times. By deliberately not seeking to offer the essential ‘just in time’ delivery service as the others, we offer an alternative connecting UK trade and businesses more easily and transparently into the supply chain, using modern technology, a low overhead storage/distribution operation along with the distribution capabilities of our suppliers to deliver value for money.
Our team have over 35 years experience in procurement sourcing and dealing with suppliers and manufacturers, directly from the factory gates, for some of the largest businesses in the UK, probably businesses you are using today. We noticed things changing, a relationship-driven market had become corporate, the future appears to be rationalisation to fewer suppliers, more ‘private label brands’, customers becoming numbers on a spreadsheet and connectivity disappearing. GBG’s intention is to provide businesses and trade access to excellent brands and products at ‘direct from supplier’ terms by harnessing the power of collective buying to bring direct terms and some great opportunities for all our members
Since our launch we now have thousands of members who have joined and are regular users across multiple industries, we are always contactable and available to assist, and the more businesses and trade that join and buy together the faster we can accelerate the group for all our members, adding even more brands and suppliers to bring you greater choice and availability to your finger tips.
We simply operate the buying group for the good of all our members and our suppliers, our role is simply to act as the bridge and link suppliers and brands directly to our members. We provide both a central credit-worthy company that suppliers can work with easily, bringing a simple single-point access on a wide range of products and services transparently, our members are not geographically peanalised, so whether you are in the North, East, South or West it’s the same price, unlike with some of the other national suppliers.
The Garage Buying Group only aims to simplify and streamline the supply of products and services that can be supplied overnight or longer lead times. There are many essentials that are subject to extended purchase cycles, kept in stock, bought in bulk or infrequently at your business. Such as Lubricants, Chemicals, Fluids, Consumables, Services, Capital Equipment, Workshop Equipment, Power Tools, Specialist Tools, Hand Tools to name just a few.
The buying group is run lean, with low overheads, this approach, backed up with efficient use of technology keeps operating cost low eliminating layers of fat, meaning we can work on slim or no profit margins on products we supply by working closely with all our suppliers that means we can deliver some great deals, savings, and good service, in turn bringing more market influence back into the hands of or members, the customer.
