Ever since the very early days of the company in 1960, when Peter Minoli made his very first delivery of mosaics to builder’s merchants in north Oxfordshire, we have been nurturing relationships with a diverse and dependable portfolio of wholesale and distribution partners, retailers and resellers.
Over the years, this division of our business has grown in throughput and geographic reach, much as Minoli have grown our specialism in supplying the independent retail sector with the products and marketing materials they need to meet their own local market demands.
Initially, our partnerships were made with other businesses operating in the tile industry or vendors of other building materials, as a logical means of expanding the footprint of our retail representation, long before the advent of the internet.
Now, some of our more recent distribution partners operate in adjacent business segments such as general flooring, kitchen and bathroom retail and installation, interior design, exterior landscaping and gardening services.
Many of our partners are larger corporations, others are smaller independent businesses, some present themselves as ‘Minoli stockists’, while others prefer a ‘white label’ resale relationship. Whether part of a group or a more local family concern, Minoli has some distribution and wholesale relationships that have remained in place for decades. Indeed, some of these relationships can be traced back almost 50 years.
In part, we’re sure that many of those relationships are still in place because we recognise the value of our partners’ retail space, their effort in promoting Minoli products and their like-minded customer focus. And that’s why we go the extra mile in terms of support, stock holding and service, so that they can be confident in choosing Minoli as their wholesale partner.
