We are a specialist Building Materials Distribution consultancy whose clients include family-run builders’, timber and plumbers’ merchants, distributors, co-ops and buying groups.
Supporting the merchant, SUPPLIER, BUYING GROUP AND CO-OP sector
Our clients include family run builders’, timber and plumbers’ merchants, as well as distributors (often owned over many generations), suppliers, manufacturing businesses, buying groups and co-ops across both the UK and US.
For builders’ merchants we support them in all parts of the merchant lifecycle, predominantly based around helping them achieve growth within their business. We consider every business strategically, helping the owners to understand what they want to achieve with their business and helping them to put a plan together to take those goals forward. Then, operationally, we support and mentor them in turning that strategy into reality.
At Moorgate we work alongside our clients’ existing teams, helping them to help themselves, whether that be growth through acquisition or greenfield, helping them to turn their business around if they haven’t achieved the growth that they wished, or by preparing their business for exit.
