City Plumbing has launched a new division, Commercial at City Plumbing, to serve professionals working in the light commercial sector.

The Commercial at City Plumbing team has already started supplying sanitaryware across the commercial sector and is also already supplying renewables, including solar, heat pumps and MVHR, plus temporary site set-up to many customers in the sector. The next step will be to roll out light commercial plumbing and heating solutions, which will happen in the next few months, as well as a full range of plant equipment, further down the line. 

The team will work directly with main contractors, mechanical and electrical installers, and facilities management professionals across sectors such as healthcare, education, offices, retail and leisure. To support customers nationwide a number of existing City Plumbing branches are being upgraded to Commercial Hubs, offering extensive nationwide coverage.

By drawing on its logistics infrastructure and both existing and new supplier relationships, the business feels it is in a strong position to support the unique needs of the light commercial sector with planning and specification support, as well as efficient delivery to site. What’s more, with over the counter, same day or next day delivery turnaround already available within the business, Commercial at City Plumbing has the capacity to respond to urgent orders.

Dave Griggs, Managing Director of Commercial at City Plumbing, said: “Ultimately, we’re a national distributor with a localised service, which means we’re able to offer our commercial customers competitive pricing and a fast turnaround time when needed.

“Whether customers engage with us as part of the specification part of their projects or if they need urgent delivery of parts for repairs and maintenance, our aim is to build a division that has the stock, supplier relationships and infrastructure to deliver what they need and when they need it.

“Our team has vast experience in this area, and we’ve already hit the ground running by winning numerous contracts for sanitaryware and are making rapid progress in other areas already. There’s a huge opportunity for us in this area and we’ve got a clear strategy in place, including even more new recruits, to ensure that we’re able to provide the services, expertise and products our Commercial customers need.”
