An improved partnership with Jewson has unlocked residential opportunities with a number of new potential customers.
This includes a taking share specification won from Roca, with the order now placed with us by Shropshire-based Days New Homes for one site and three more to follow.
The win was turned round in only weeks from the initial meeting with Rob Reed at Jewson. The Days New Homes lead came in five days after that meeting, our specification was submitted eight days later and confirmation was received from the developer the day after that, with a site visit a week later and the order placed the next day.
Head of Trade Alex Hooley said: “We have made significant progress over the past month with Jewson.
“This includes connecting with a new contact who looks after bathroom sales and specification nationally which has in turn unlocked four new opportunities in four weeks that were unknown to Ideal Standard.
“We are gaining access to a customer base that we currently do not deal with where Jewson is selling direct to developers.
“We are now looking to mirror this success across the whole account nationally and looking to unlock the same opportunity across other builder’s merchants accounts.”
As well as the four projects with Days New Homes, we are also working on opportunities with two housing associations and a modular structure developer through Jewson.
