For A Profitable...
Secure... Future!
Why Home Hardware?
Our Aim
Our sole aim is to improve our members profitability, which we achieve through a strong negotiating position, established buying power and focused marketing. Home Hardware (Scotland) Ltd is essentially non profit making and is managed by a board of directors who have many years of retail experience between them. The board sets the policies of the company, develops the operations, finance and performance. It gives direction and engages management. The hardware, DIY and gardening industries in the UK have grown to the point where a few giant multiples control a large part of the industry. They will continue to take more of the market share unless independents band together and work collectively towards a common cause and purpose.
Our Mission
Home Hardware’s mission is to supply members with a very wide range of quality products and services, to provide them with systems to operate efficient and profitable stores, and assist them in serving the customer with competitive prices and superior service.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is, and always has been, that the profit centres are the shops, not Home Hardware. Our philosophy is considerably different to some conventional distributors whose basic objective is to maximise their profits.
Professional Buying
Our dedicated buyers have all come from a retail background. Our buying team can respond immediately to any changes in the market place and always offer members the best price to allow them to compete. They source the best products from around the world to offer you the best pricing available!
Marketing
Our in-house marketing department produces seasonal brochures, A2 posters, point of sale materials & content for your social media platforms!
