SMG are a friendly, professional buying group who represent a broad collection of retailers and are very supportive of British manufacturers.

As a manufacturer who supplies carpet to a number of SMG members we appreciate the feedback from SMG about the members they believe are most aligned to our brand and would benefit our products being showcased in their stores. It enables us to get a different perspective than our own view and as such build a plan that maximizes sales of our products. This communication and the relationship we have developed with SMG is a major benefit to our collective business.

Working with SMG and their members is an easy fit alongside Westex. Their knowledgeable retailers and SMG great marketing efficiency, ensures that our joint promotional activity is promoted and discussed regularly within the member stores.

Independent retailers can retain their own identity, promote leading brands, whilst enjoying all the benefits and buying power that being part of SMG provides.

SMG are a group that interacts well with both manufacturers and retailers alike.  Their professional approach enables manufactures to help retailers get the best out of the products they sell.

Ulster and SMG have enjoyed a long and mutually beneficial relationship. SMG's forward thinking and progressive attitude makes them a great buying group to work with. The team are always on hand to help and advise. Our recent sq.m promotion was effective thanks to the cooperation between Mike, Linda and the rest of the team and the sales team at Ulster.

Our relationship with SMG and its members is valuable and very important to us. We have built strong relationships with its members which in turn has led to many years of trading with each other.   SMG understands and appreciates the value and quality in our products and we thank them and its members for their support and look forward to working with them for many more years to come.
