It all began at the school gates.
A quick “how’re you?” opened a floodgate to stress and frustration.
An unpaid bill, owed to this business owner by Jim, standing smugly across the road. Regardless of the chasing and promises that the bill would be paid, it never was.
Then, another chat, with another business owner. Restless nights, no sleep, worrying about a supplier not delivering their service, despite them having been paid. No time to chase them up, the team too busy trying to deliver their service to their customers.
And another, and another. Crippling supplier price increases, missed waste pickups, broadband going down so they couldn’t take any payments from customers, staff underperforming and no idea how to best address it. And then there’s the NI & national minimum wage increases to cover.
There had to be a better way!
A world where a business owner can find the suppliers they need easily and know that they’ll deliver what’s asked.
A world where a supplier can be confident that their customers will pay their bills.
A world of trust & mutual respect.
A world where life is just a little bit easier, for everyone!
We think we might have the solution.
One where everyone wins…
I’m a business
I’m a supplier

If you need better suppliers…
Imagine your life with the expert suppliers you need to grow.
-
We start with inviting potential suppliers to apply, completing an application. We review this along with their standard terms of business (looking for red flags), we track their insurances and run a credit check. They also sign up to our Supplier Code of Conduct before we accept them as a supplier.
We only want the best suppliers to support your business.
-
Suppliers in our Supplier Directory cover a wide range of overhead services, as our service is designed to complement your industry-specific supply chain.
-
We’re building a regional supply chain, so we keep the money in the region, micro inward investment. Creating a community of local businesses supporting other local businesses.
-
Use our templates to help you work out what you need, what elements of the service you value and then request quotes from our short list of suppliers. Using our templates you can identify the best supplier for the service you need.

If you need better customers…
Imagine having a ready source of top rate customers.
-
Your listing in our regional Supplier Directory will be one of a small number covering your service. Our objective is to give customers a short list of suppliers to contact when they need your service.
-
Your business listing not only provides space for the usual sales pitch, but we’re also looking to counter the age of AI with our suppliers providing a personal video - sell you, not your business. With a contact form on your listing, we aim to make it as easy as possible for customers to get in touch.
-
Yeup, it’s a two-way street here.
We only allow customers to gain access to the Supplier Directory if they have passed our vetting, agreed to our Buyer Code of Conduct and we credit check the business, which we monitor while they are members.
We only want the best customers as part of our community.

We’re building a regional supply chain, which we’re advertising to your ideal clients in your area. We’re creating a community of local businesses, supporting other local businesses.
