Hearing directly from our members is an important part of what we do at IBC. 🤝

We recently had the opportunity to sit down with Heather Kerr from Cleethorpes Builders Merchants for a chat about her experience of being part of the IBC Buying Group.

It's always valuable to hear our members' perspectives, understand their experiences and learn more about the businesses that make up the IBC network.

A big thank you to Heather and the team at Cleethorpes Builders Merchants for welcoming us and taking the time to speak with us! 👏

Malta is calling.

IBC Malta 2027 will bring members and suppliers together from across the network, creating an opportunity to strengthen relationships, share ideas and explore new commercial opportunities.

The suppliers are confirmed, plans are taking shape and over the coming months we’ll be sharing more about the businesses and people joining us in Malta.

More than a conference. More than a buying group.

We recently visited IBC member DJ Evans to hear about their experience of being part of the buying group. 🤝

During our conversation, we discussed the importance of strong supplier relationships, the value of in-branch POS support and the different supplier initiatives available to independent merchants.

We also asked what advice they would give to other merchants considering joining IBC.

It's always good to hear directly from our members about their experiences and how they make the most of their membership.

A big thank you to the team at DJ Evans for taking the time to speak with us! 👏

Supplier agreements form the backbone of a buying group.

At IBC, these agreements are built around long-term partnerships that deliver real commercial value to members.

When independent businesses share experience and ideas, the benefits extend across the network.

What works in one region can help another. What one merchant learns can support many others.

That is collaboration in action.

Some of the most valuable ideas in business start with a conversation.

A new supplier relationship. A shared insight. A fresh commercial opportunity.

That is one of the greatest advantages of being part of a strong network.

One last trip to Lord's to close out the season. 🏏

Middlesex welcome Northamptonshire to the Home of Cricket today for their final County Championship fixture of 2026.

After a season that's taken the team around the country, there's no better place to bring it to a close than back at Lord's.

Let's finish the season on a high! đź’™
