Sirius Buying Group is thrilled to welcome RNW, as the latest Approved Supplier to join the group.
Formed in 1970 by Jim Hughes, Refrigeration Norwest (RNW) began trading from a small building nestled on an industrial estate near Chester.
Fast-forward to today, and RNW still remains focused on the customer, but its size and scale has dramatically increased. Now delivering nationwide, the company holds circa £4 million worth of stock in its 100,000 square-foot warehousing from market leading brands such as Candy, Haier and Hoover plus the premium OEM brand that everyone is talking about, Teknix, which has been designed and refined by the current MD and his team over the past ten years.
RNW managing director, Paul Hughes, commented: “Even with the rapid expansion of the Teknix brand we have remained the same. As well as being a distribution company with its own brand, we still have retail stores, which means we understand the day-to-day joys and difficulties retailing brings. All of that experience and knowledge is poured into the Teknix brand. We pride ourselves on offering a first rate service and delivering premium products at the right price. By partnering with the Sirius Buying Group, we’re able to continue creating new opportunities to grow our supply network and ultimately pass on the latest deals and exclusive product lines like our all new Teknix 3 Series range.
“Customers can set up an online trade account to access RNW promotions, handle returns and streamline purchasing or call our deidicated trade office headed up by Paul Skinner who has over 30 years of experience at the heart of RNW. Please feel free to visit anytime to meet the team, bring an empty van. We also have Simeon Green and Mark Winfield out in the field who are themselves legends in the industry.”
Mr Hughes is also proud to welcome his son James, already making a difference after 18 months, into the business who will carry the torch forward into its third generation.
Marion Morton, Commercial Director at Sirius Buying Group says, “We are delighted to welcome Refrigeration Norwest (Chester) to the group as we continue to strengthen our Approved Supplier portfolio for the benefits of Sirius Members. We believe we offer the strongest and most comprehensive range proposition for our Members, with a carefully curated selection of Approved Suppliers like RNW that deliver exceptional products, value, and support. In today’s competitive and fast-evolving market, the ability to regularly present these opportunities to our Members is more important than ever.”
The addition of RNW continues to support Sirius Buying Group’s mission to provide its Members with the right level of support and product choice included within the Teknix brand. RNW joins the strong network of Sirius Approved Suppliers which includes some of the world’s leading MDA, SDA and Kitchen brands.
