One
of the best ways that you can get to know a new
company short of meeting them face to face is
to see examples of sourcing jobs done - and so
on this page we present some of our testimonials
from other companies.
Most items we deal
with have price sensitive information, with clients not
keen to openly publicise what they do as you can
imagine, but one story, I can outline openly here.
One client came to us for speed bumps!
A simple enough product, to complement existing
business, but as with everything, there is far
more to it than meets the eye. We gained outline
specification, volumes, and a target price of
£15 per metre, with some level of price
greyness involved.
We looked into the market, and found the UK costs
were more towards £22.05 per half metre,
(£44.10 per full metre) with the ends £49.50
per pair. Poland was similar in cost, but two
far eastern suppliers came in at £16.38
& £25.30 per metre, with the ends £6.76
and £11.70. We presented images, build considerations
and our recommendations.
The net figures we worked out for a 4.0m finished
hump was £72.28 / £112.90 as compared
to £225.90 with his present supplier. The
stage we got to was to get samples shipped over,
and check that quality was as we expected. Currently
we are shipping samples over so that their quality
can be checked.
