Dealer Support’s ‘Industry Insight Edition’

What to expect from our special April edition

Welcome to Dealer Support’s special ‘Industry Insight Edition’, where we bring you a comprehensive guide to the current workplace supplies landscape. We’ve spoken to wholesalers and service providers across the industry and we can now present the results of our State of the Nation Survey.

Regardless of your industry, competition is an inevitable, and often necessary, part of the business landscape. For customers, competition brings the opportunity of improved choice - but more choice also means increased need for meaningful information to inform decision-making on who to work with.

This year looks to be the time that the business supplies wholesaler race really picks up pace, with many wholesalers promising aggressive growth and new initiatives; independent dealer customers can only benefit from this. With this in mind, we at Dealer Support are providing you with a guide that is bang up-to-date, a go-to-guide for dealers looking to get a better understanding of what the current wholesaler landscape looks like and what it offers their businesses.

Industry Interviews

Our aim is to always give dealers a broad overview of this part of the channel, and to provide valuable insights and information that will help you make more informed decisions so, in this special edition, we take a closer look at what Spicers UK, Exertis Supplies and Nectere have to offer you, including their objectives for 2023 and their latest business developments, as well as their advice for dealers in the postCOVID landscape and their views on how the industry is evolving.

Our Survey Results

We also bring you an in-depth analysis of the workplace supplies industry based on the insights and opinions of our readers, gathered through our State of the Nation Survey. Earlier this year we asked our readers for their thoughts on the current state of the industry, as well as their outlook for the future. The findings of our survey show a relatively stable situation, with a slight undercurrent of uncertainty, but sprinkled with plenty of optimism too.

In this special edition we will be sharing the results of our survey with you, providing a snapshot of the industry’s current state, and the challenges and opportunities that dealers are facing. We explore some of the key trends and shifts that are shaping the industry, and offer insights and advice from the industry experts on how to navigate this landscape successfully. We also take a look at the areas where dealers are seeing the most growth and where they’re facing challenges. The insights gained from our survey offer a unique perspective on the industry, and we believe that our readers will find the results useful in making informed decisions about their businesses.

Whether you’re a seasoned industry professional, or a newcomer to the sector, we believe this special edition will provide valuable insights and guidance to help you stay ahead of the curve - this is definitely an issue to share with colleagues and keep for future reference! We know you’ll find it informative and perceptive.
