We had a meeting scheduled with their Sales Director back in Jan/Feb time, but he cancelled it and has never called to re-arrange.
perhaps he got sacked ray?

Someone should make a thread and sticky it for ray, where we can post up the pieces of kit, tools, fittings, boilers, consumables, filters , gloves and such for him to look into that we find to be high quality? Were at the frount of whats good, it would be nice to help him out?

thanks for that info GasmanxxxR1.
I'll give it one more try, but if my suspicions about the reasons they weren't interested in us are correct, then it would be about more than an individual.
Other merchants who are making high margins on certain products don't seem to appreciate our trading style for some reason. 🙂

I think their stockists do. And since our reputation is to pile-it-high, sell-it-cheap its not impossible that some existing stockists have put the boot in.
Wouldn't be the first time. The other big boiler brands come under intense pressure from other merchants to "discipline" our pricing. To their credit, they mostly ignore it, but thats not so easy for a boiler that is still very niche, and probably dependent on two or three major stockists.

Interesting to know, thanks Ray
I recently went on the intergas course, the guy running it was interested in what merchants we use. About 90 % said williams and urged him to make a deal, he answered that he hoped he could and that the sales director had made a lot of people unhappy and had now left the business

Just need to get that figure to go national!
Was the bloke running it an Indian guy called Mak Kumar? He was my original contact, and was very positive - I know him from when he was the Heatline radiator rep.

Ta. Yes, I know Mark, but didn't know he was at Intergas. I might give him a call.

So do i, plumbase refused to quote me with any discount what so ever and were pretty sarcastic.
left fuming at them wanting such a ridiculous price.
Atleast i can open a trade account at Williams easily without any gripes as it will be my first.
