Trade Blog: Builders and Refurbs

Hughes Trade are bulk and site supply specialists working with national builders and some very prominent projects in both domestic and commercial environments.

We help builders with bulk supply deals for their one-off projects of all sizes from our huge live stocks. We keep over £10m at cost of finished products in a central location to keep the business fuelled. The central stock is all high quality fast moving lines and we operate a fleet of commercial vehicles from 3.5t to 18t with draw bars depending on the need.

For continuity, our trade department can assist with selection and pricing set for the entirety of the project in conjunction with the manufacturer for either scheduled one-off or ad-hoc call-off. This allows secure budgeting and expectation. Our experienced advisors will be with you every step from planning to project completion to ensure utmost service levels are maintained throughout.

In addition, we operate several own installation teams that are available to install on your site to an exemplary standard. All our installers are fully trained and certified, well equipped and experienced.

Over recent the years the interest in properties with Smart technology has rocketed as interactive products become commonplace. This offers construction companies who explore this area additional margins and a point of difference from competitors. If you are interested in this technology, we have a dedicated Hughes Smart department to advise on integrating smart technology into your business or home – they are a team of advisors and installers specialising in the field.

Commercial laundry and dishwashing is handled by our sister company Hughes Pro; a highly specialised and respected business that is a Miele Professional Authorised Partner and main dealer for the world’s favourite commercial producer Alliance. Hughes Pro work with architects, designers and refurb companies in the provision of full in-house laundries.

Hospitality and hotel TV’s are another specialism with multiple new build installations taking place most years that lately have tended to have a professional cinema room in the package too. We major on Philips and LG screens although we have access to all the famous brands. Increasingly we are being asked for digital signage screens too. All our business products are available to rent to avoid the capital expense.

Extraordinary jobs are planned and accommodated with ease. Huge company resource allows us the benefit of calling on skilled capacity from around the company for a given task. Recent examples include the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and 2012 London Games, where seventeen installers wet-installed 1200 laundry products into 20 temporary laundry rooms in a diminishing window of just three days. A job that we received written commendation from the organisers LOCOG.

Hughes’ diverse product ranges sets it aside: domestic, commercial, technology, freestanding, built-in, hotel TV, digital signage and full installation of each are all accommodated with ease.
