Supplier Collaboration in Landscaping

I've worked in the construction industry for 4 years specialising in Landscaping. I've had some great success stories within this time and believe a key contributor to my success is having great relationships with suppliers. The right suppliers who share the same goals as you can be incremental in a branch’s success.

?

I've decided to share a case study were working on with Tobermore where we've gained a great new customer who now uses Jewson?not only because he trusts he'll get a great service but because?he now wants to lead the change in using better Landscaping products.

?

Ryan at Tobermore approached JA Paving in Doncaster?through a cold call?and spoke about the products and services they could offer through Jewson. He then facilitated an introduction to myself and the relationship grew from there! JA Paving a year ago would just go to the cheapest merchant at the time. He now would only use Jewson because of the relationship we have with him. His business is now flourishing and by selling his proposition as a contractor who uses better products, he’s booked up months in advance and is a strong contender for Landscaper of the year at On The Tools Awards!

I always quote “relationships over transactions” and I think this is a great story where this is proven.

?

?Joseph Cunningham, Owner at JA Paving and Fencing, told me;?"In the past I usually just went with the cheapest supplier but since meeting Harriet the service from her and Jewson as a company has been amazing. Other merchants have called me recently, ****** and **** **** to name a few and I wouldn't even consider changing no matter the price. Harriet and Ryan have helped my business flourish to be the best paving specialists in Yorkshire"

?

Ryan McKane, Merchant Sales Manager at Tobermore, has said;? "Harriet is an exceptional ambassador for Jewson and excels in developing and cultivating relationships. Harriet's communication is exceptional. She uses myself to the best of her advantage to capitalise on business opportunities which provides mutual benefits for Jewson and Tobermore"

I'm really looking forward to seeing the success we can build together with not only JA Paving and Fencing but other customers too!
