WHO ARE TRADEPARTNERS?
We are tradies ourselves who have owned and operated contracting business's for over 30 years, we have taken a few knocks and had our fair share of success, so we understand the challenges that tradies face. That's why we started this business to help other tradies like you in the same situation…and we've been doing it for 10 years now!
TradePartners is a trade support and buying group for electricians and plumbers, but more than that, we help our members grow not only through the power of group buying but also by supporting the growth of their business. We do this with the use of smart and easy solutions to reduce business costs, reduce time and reduce stress.
We have a bunch of benefits including a nationally managed price file at J.A. Russell for electricians and MICO for plumbers, FREE N3 membership with discounts from some of NZ's leading retailers and a catalogue of business services that will help your business grow… the choice is yours…and it's 100% FREE!
30 YEARS EXPERIENCE
TradePartners is the brainchild of Steve and Steve. They dreamed it up a few years ago, while running their own trades business. They found that it was difficult and time consuming to negotiate and maintain the best supplier pricing, work out the best software systems and to get the best deals on everyday products, business services and training.
They've spent years working all this stuff out, getting stuff wrong and figuring out what works best to run a successful trades business. In 2013 they were recognised for the growth of their trades business by being awarded the Deloitte Fast 50 as one of the fastest growing companies in the country.
So, after doing all the hard yards they thought, let's share our learnings with other tradies so they can benefit from our experience, knowledge, know-how and relationships that they've built over the years.
