LogBuy today announced the launch of a FREE dedicated SME member association
that provides small to medium sized businesses with easy access to the
UK's leading business suppliers at prices normally only made available
to large corporations.
LogBuy enables small businesses to benefit from their combined
purchasing power and provides its members with easy access to
negotiated prices on all common business supplies - saving them both
money and valuable time.
"As a small company we have spent hours, probably days in fact trying
to find the right suppliers for our business," said Karina Thomsen,
LogBuy's Marketing Director. "Not only do we look for quality, time of
delivery and reliability, price is absolutely key when making any
purchase decision. With LogBuy, we've done all the work for you, w e've
done the research, we've negotiated down the price and we've made the
deals easily accessible."
As an example, LogBuy members can benefit from - up to 70% discount on
selected stationery and 38% on office furniture with Whitegrove, access
over 750,000 discounted airfares and 49,000 discounted hotel rates with
BTI, save up to 57% on UK calls against BT's Business Plan* with
One.Tel, receive a free fuel card with Shell and more.
LogBuy will be continually adding to the agreements over the course of
the year, as well as assessing the supplier agreements it has
negotiated, to ensure LogBuy members always get the best deal.
"We are really excited about launching this service in the UK," said
David Wall, LogBuy's Managing Director "We have a unique product
supported by some of the leading brands in the country. LogBuy has
something to offer all small and medium sized businesses nationwide and
we wanted to ensure the service was FREE, so no matter what size or
stage companies were at, they could easily join and benefit from our
great deals."
"Entrepreneurism in the UK is rife but start-up businesses need
support, which is why it is comforting to see so many tailored services
springing up," says Daphne Milner, Chief Executive at Business Link
Berkshire and Wiltshire.
"When the team at LogBuy came to us for early advice on its start-up
process we could see the potential for the business to grow and prosper
in this market. The expertise that the company will provide by
negotiating low cost fees will be
hugely beneficial in terms of saving new business owners time and money."
Nick Hurrell, Director of Corporate Sales Support at BTI UK, the UK's
leading corporate travel management company, added: "We are keen to
work with LogBuy to develop this opportunity in the UK - and across
Europe in the future - as it fits well with our own strategy of
providing tailored travel solutions designed to meet the needs of
individual companies, regardless of their size. We recognise that
LogBuy focuses on suppliers that deliver excellent quality combined
with exceptional value and BTI UK is happy to offer its expertise
alongside leading brands such as Shell"
LogBuy originated in Denmark in 2002 and has since become the largest
SME member purchasing association. The success of LogBuy in Denmark has
been due to the collaborative nature of the association, negotiating
the best prices on key business suppliers, as well as offering other
key member benefits such as a regular member magazine and networking
events.
