SBS is one of the oldest and, more recently, one of the largest independent merchants operating from within the UK directly focusing on supplying to the commercial and industrial mechanical services sector. The core business specialises in the distribution of pipework, valves and air conditioning along with all associated fittings and ancillaries. The business has extensively increased both its product portfolio and geographical coverage since the turn of the millennium. With branch coverage across the spine of England, Wales and Scotland, including a Head Office based in Blaby Leicester, we are able to meet our customers service commitments, our brand promise since 1897. SBS can offer added value over its competitors in a multitude of ways by drawing from our close relationships with our carefully selected and quality assured suppliers and by maintaining excellent stock levels at all branches, thus reducing supplier lead times. In turn, we can provide unrivalled levels of service along with competitive pricing. Our investment strategy for sustainable growth, along with our commitment to the branch expansion programme and product range development, are just some of the reasons behind the unprecedented success of the business, resulting in turnover increasing to over £150 million per annum today. Through the development of our people and product range, with the support of our suppliers, shareholders and parent company, we shall maintain our desire to surpass our customers’ expectations with a level of service that will continually add value to their changing needs…
