Kilsaran International, the innovative concrete and paving specialist, has officially been appointed a recommended supplier of the growing h&b Group.
As the fastest growing national buying organisation for independent builders merchants, the h&b Group aims to provide its 80+ members with a united platform to represent their interests in negotiations with suppliers.
Becoming a member of the h&b Group arms the builders merchants with an increased buying power, while suppliers benefit from increased reach and visibility in the market complete with the full endorsement of the brand.
"We have strict selective criteria and only work with suppliers who can prove their merit to the group, to ensure our members can be entirely confident in our recommendations," said Jim Rance, Chairman at h&b Paving and Landscaping Committee.
"Kilsaran impressed us with their extensive range of very well specified paving products, from innovative designs to superb eco-friendly alternatives, offering some fantastic landscaping solutions. Our members will also be enormously interested in Kilsaran's highly-anticipated new paving range, designed in accordance with celebrity garden designer, Diarmuid Gavin. Initiatives like these are a great way to refresh and reinvigorate the builders merchant environment, while delivering new paving solutions that stand out!"
Kilsaran has established a strong reputation in the industry for providing expert technical design support in addition to quality products, leading to nationwide stock listings with high profile independent merchants, including Beatsons and Kings Langley Builders Merchant. An unrivalled merchant support system has been critical to Kilsaran's success to date, extending far beyond a standard order-and-delivery philosophy to encompass marketing collaboration, product selection guidance and product laying advice where required.
Rob Taylor, UK director at Kilsaran International, commented: "Working with h&b will allow us to reach new customers, giving them total confidence in our best-in-class service and quality products.
"The recommendation of the Group is a substantial measure of our success in the field, of which we are very proud. We are looking forward to working with new builders merchants and extending our distribution across the network on a national level to deliver superb alternative paving solutions at competitive prices and with high specs."
"The timing of the deal is perfect as we are extending our distribution plans for the new Diarmuid Gavin range, which is set to become a huge hit across the builders merchant network. It will be a case of first come, first served," Rob added.
