TradeKart and City Plumbing Join Forces

In an exciting development set to transform the way plumbers source supplies, TradeKart and City Plumbing are proud to announce their strategic partnership. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in the plumbing industry, offering professionals unparalleled convenience and efficiency through the power of technology.

City Plumbing, the UK's largest plumbing merchant renowned for its extensive product range, has joined forces with TradeKart, an exciting app-based marketplace that specialises in fulfilling rapid deliveries for tradespeople.

This partnership will enable tradespeople to access City Plumbing's vast inventory directly through the TradeKart app, and to have their items delivered wherever they need them, in as little as one hour. The service will initially be available from September within the M25.

“We are thrilled to embark on this partnership with City Plumbing,” said Alistair McAuley, CEO and Founder of TradeKart. “Tradespeople lose an average of three to four hours each week from having to leave site to collect materials, which is a huge financial and time cost on small businesses.  Our mission has always been to support our merchant partners, and bring convenience and flexibility to tradespeople, something this partnership with City Plumbing helps us take to the next level.”

"We are excited to bring this level of convenience to the plumbing community," said Dave Griggs, Managing Director of Digital Services. "By partnering with TradeKart, we are enhancing our commitment to providing our customers with not only the best products, but also the most efficient and hassle-free shopping experience possible. With TradeKart's expertise in rapid deliveries, we can ensure that plumbers receive their supplies exactly when and where they need them."

City Plumbing Dash, powered by TradeKart, will also be launching and will provide a premium delivery service to trade account customers requiring rapid delivery. The collaboration between TradeKart and City Plumbing is set to reshape the plumbing supplies landscape. In a post-pandemic world, people are used to rapid convenience, thanks to the rise of delivery apps like Amazon Prime and Deliveroo. This partnership is one step forward in the evolution of the trade industry and being able to provide professionals and consumers with what they need, when they need it, without having to leave site.
