Not influenced or controlled by others in matters of opinion, conduct etc.
Not subject to another’s authority or jurisdiction; autonomous, free.
Not relying on others for aid or support.
Why choose an independent?
Unlike the big multiples, most independent suppliers offer:
- depth of experience – giving valuable advice you can rely on
- local knowledge – taking account of local factors that may affect your buying decision
- objectivity – recognising your particular needs and offering a service that’s right for you
- specialist service – no “jack of all trades”, they offer in-depth service in their particular field
- personal attention – our members care about your custom; indeed, you often deal with the owner or manager.
What’s more, by using independent suppliers, you are doing your bit towards environmental sustainability – shopping local rather than contributing to the coffers of international business.
Be indie, be happy!
