Why become a Supplier?

Cedabond is always interested in identifying potential suppliers. You will appreciate that we already have some very good established agreements with Suppliers. We give careful consideration to this when accessing the commercial opportunities of introducing a new Supplier to our Members.

Cedabond has been operating since 1977. It has a current Membership of over 60 Catering Distributor Companies and has buying agreements with over 40 Suppliers to the industry.

For your information and consideration Cedabond offers Suppliers the following benefits.

Access to over 60 Catering Equipment Distributors and active co-operation from Cedabond Directors in increasing and extending exposure.
Regular contact by Directors to Suppliers with news of progress during the year.
Biennial Workshop in May of the non-Hotelympia year. A two-day event where all Suppliers meet all Members and have the two-way dialogue at senior level to discuss prospects for increased business.
Regular Member newsletters encouraging Members to greater efforts throughout the year.
Cedabond Marketing of Suppliers Products and Services via:
Regular Promotional Brochures, offering a selection of Suppliers Products at Special Prices for a limited period.
Simplification and assistance in collecting payments due and monitoring Members discipline in meeting payment criteria.
Regular monthly payments through Cedabond Central Payments on behalf of ALL Members - One payment.
Strict discipline of Members who depart from criteria.

Cedabond negotiate agreements with ALL Suppliers on behalf of ALL Members. The Commercial ordering and supplying of Product however, remains between the Supplier and each Member.

We remain interested in appointing Quality Suppliers who are prepared to enter into a Partnership for Profit, an even balanced agreement that will bring benefits to each party.

In any agreement Cedabond would expect:

Cash Settlement Terms monthly
Acceptable Terms "Off Invoice" for Members.
An annual target, based on all Members' Turnover and offering a Retrospective Rebate for attaining these targets.
Marketing support for promotional publications.
Regular contact by Supplier with individual Members.

If you are interested in becoming a Cedabond Supplier we would invite you in the first instance to submit a Company Profile providing information on number of years trading, annual turnover, number of employees, etc., sales brochure and price list.
