Barely one year ago, New Milton Sand & Ballast made the jump to NBG. Having quarrying and concreting as separate arms of the business, as well as merchanting, means they can sometimes seem like "an anomaly among other merchants." 🤨 We look at that as an advantage 😎 What an incredible way to gain the unique insights into the business practises and deals that can benefit all our Partners 😁 As part of the #NBGConference2024, Richard Froggett and Suzanne Wright (Jones) spoke to Builders Merchants Journal about NMSB's journey to NBG the benefits they've already seen 🌟 You can read the full story on page 20 of the January supplement or by clicking the link 👇 https://lnkd.in/eQ5rvrFK #IndependentMerchants #Construction #BuildersMerchants #BuildingMaterials
