NBG is the premier buying group for independent merchants, offering unbeatable national coverage. Formed in 2003, our community of partners improve business profitability and growth opportunities by committing to buy products together. Our approach provides an efficient route to market for suppliers in the building, plumbing and civils industries. Combining our buying power allows partners to secure better supplier trading terms than would be possible individually. Each agreement is negotiated and managed by product experts, called Category Management Teams, who are well placed to get the best deal for partners. This streamlined process means everyone saves time, money and effort by sharing their knowledge – and the workload.
