Plumb Center hits 50 Bathroom Showrooms

The past year has seen significant growth of the Plumb Center Bathroom Showroom network with the latest Slough and Newbury locations taking the total to 50.

Each Plumb Center Bathroom Showroom has a wide selection of brands to suit all budgets and everything is available for immediate delivery.

Alongside the growth of the estate, Plumb Center’s Preferred Partnership scheme has also seen tremendous growth recently with 1300 installers associating themselves with their local Plumb Center in order to make their businesses more profitable.

Member of the Preferred Partnership scheme receive a full 3D colour design consultation to help customers visualise their bathroom as well as trade discounts and sales incentive targets, exclusive supplier incentives, referrals to grow business and tools to help sell to customers.

Richard Redfern, category director for plumbing at Plumb Center said: “We know that consumers are wanting to become more involved with their bathroom purchase and this can present its own set of challenges. The Showroom allows you to compare and contrast all the leading brands such as Roca, Ideal Standard and Plumb Center’s exclusive Nabis and Thirty6 brands.

“What’s more, the Preferred Partnership Scheme is designed to take care of the customer’s needs in terms of design and product choice so that the installer can focus on what they do best. It’s a great opportunity for installers make their service more valuable and increase customer spend this plumbing season.”
