CCF joins the UK’s largest merchant buying group
CCF is pleased to announce that we have joined the National Merchant Buying Society (NMBS). As the UK’s largest buying group, this partnership marks an important step in strengthening our relationships across the independent merchant sector.
Joining NMBS gives CCF the opportunity to work more closely with over 1,300 independent merchants across the UK. With 37 branches nationwide, a comprehensive stock profile and a highly experienced team, CCF is well positioned to support these merchants with reliable access to specialist interior building products.
As a leading distributor of insulation, drywall, ceilings and interior construction materials, we already work closely with contractors, installers and project teams across the country. Becoming part of NMBS allows us to extend that expertise further, supporting independent merchants with the products, availability and service they need to grow their businesses.

Commenting on the announcement, CCF Commercial Director Mike Davies said: “Becoming part of the National Merchant Buying Society (NMBS) gives CCF a strong opportunity to support independent merchants with the specialist products, availability and expertise they rely on. With our 37 branches, comprehensive stock profile and experienced team, we are well placed to add real value across the network. Having worked within the independent merchant sector, and with NMBS, for more than 20 years, I know first-hand the strength of this community, and I’m looking forward to building long-term relationships and supporting members with a dependable supply chain.”
