National Merchant Buying Society (NMBS)

NMBS is the most successful Buying Society in the UK for Independent Builders, Plumbers, Hardware and Timber Merchants.

Since 1963, NMBS has been dedicated to strengthening the independent merchant by bringing them together to gain negotiating and purchasing power by continuously negotiating terms, rebates and special offers on their behalf.

Members are able to order direct from any NMBS approved supplier eliminating the need for a direct account. Being an industrial provident society only NMBS running costs are retained, all other monies are returned to the membership via enhanced terms.

The primary aim of NMBS is to enable our members to get the best possible deal from suppliers through exclusive supplier offers and terms to independents via centralised purchasing, marketing and event activities.
