Realising the need for XS Trade Published 10/09/2018
Well, I say it was the first time, it was probably the hundredth time - but it was the moment that tipped me over the edge and pushed me to take action. I was working with a major client and, as part of the project, ordered a number of industrial electrical switches - each worth well over £1,000.
As it transpired - and many people reading this will have been there - I over ordered. Well, that’s to say the client decided they didn’t need them all. That is their right as the customer. Things change. But two were left over. Nearly £3,000 worth of perfectly good gear. It had already been paid for, of course, so I could have just scrapped it and got on with my life.
But there is something very wrong about that. It was then I thought there had to be a better way. I read that 13 per cent of all building waste is scrapped. That’s a shocking stat. Every conceivable building material is included in that. And when you think - particularly for the smaller businesses, but also for the big boys - that margins on jobs can be so tight. Imagine if you could pick up some materials that would otherwise have been dumped below the market value just to add that little extra to your bottom line.
You’'re also doing your bit for the environment too - and we know how important that is these days, particularly in the building industry. So, whether you just need half a dozen paving slabs or five pallets of bricks, XS Trade might just be able to do you a favour. And save you money in to the bargain.
