Avoid Wickes own brand white wiring accessories, from my own experience.you need to price stuff up on b&q an wickes etc. then see what you can get the same gear for. then can you be competitive and still make a profit. an example i can give you is... 6mm T/E sells at most wholesalers in 100m drums, works out about £1.30/m. my local hardware store sells it by the meter@ £2.75/m. so that's good profit. on things like sockets, switches etc, you'd be hard pushed to be competitive. I'd stick to paint and associated decorating/DIY gear.
My local CEF is fantastic, including on price, however most wholesalers are only as good as the branch manager & staff. In fact all of the wholesalers I have dealt with over the years it is not the brand or group which is good or bad, it is the staff.Whatever CEF do....,don’t do that!
Do you have to be a big spender to butter them up ... or is there another process?.... it is the staff.
No bribery involved, sometimes I spend a reasonable amount, I guess I have been lucky.Do you have to be a big spender to butter them up ... or is there another process?
