Prior to the group’s inception, many businesses struggled to compete with their larger opposition in the marketplace.
They also had difficulty in gaining trading accounts with many of the reputable suppliers. To overcome these challenges, they banded together and formed the Buyers Independent Group Australia. This was almost 30 years ago and since that time, the group has evolved into what it is today, the BIGA+ success story.
Growing from 33 members three years ago, to 145 currently, BIGA+ has seen exponential member growth with each passing month. The business now has over 170 outlets nationally, with one of its members boasting 30 stores. Many members had been in business as independents for many years and speak of the benefits since joining the group.
“For over a decade, GT&B has been an active member of the BIGA+ Group. As an independent retailer, being a part of BIGA+ provides us with access to great-quality products while allowing us to remain extremely competitive against national chain stores across Australia. We’re proud to work alongside passionate and driven professionals to bring leading brands and products to the market.” GT&B
As a not-for-profit organisation, BIGA+ is a member-owned group that exists only to assist its members by making their lives easier and enabling them to exceed their customers’ expectations.
Consumers can expect to receive a level of service from a proud independent BIGA+ member which is second to none. These businesses go above and beyond for their customers. If you’re searching for bathware or plumbing products, you’re sure to find it from a BIGA+ member, and unlike large corporate-owned brands, the owners of BIGA+ businesses work within the stores themselves to best serve their customers’ needs. They are totally invested in ensuring your project, be it a small renovation or a multi-level apartment building, runs smoothly from start to end.
