Thomas Graham, the UK’s leading one stop shop for industrial supplies, has chosen PCL as one of its main brands.
With four branches – Carlise HQ, Morecambe, Kendal and Egremont – and five divisions – industrial, hygiene, workwear and PPE, welding and steel – Thomas Graham is known for its diligent sourcing, stock and delivery of high quality products.
PCL is therefore proud to be part of the company’s portfolio, supplying a carefully selected range of compressed air products – from safety blowguns, air drills and ratchets, to impacts wrenches, air hoses and couplings – predominately for professional fabrication and engineering workshops.
POS merchandise stands have been installed in Carlisle and Morecambe; and PCL Area Sales Manager Michael Dooker has travelled to Cumbria with the Demo Van to provide hands-on training for staff across counters, accounts, marketing, warehouse, goods-in and dispatch.
Thomas Graham’s Trade Counter and Marketing Assistant, Jessica Scott-Lamont, said: “The training and marketing support has been fantastic. Michael has gone above and beyond. He delivered a presentation giving an overview of products, breaking down key areas. Our staff always learn and remember more when they’re using the product themselves, and Michael left us with a slideshow which I can show staff to embed knowledge after training.
“We also have the PCL catalogue and access to a portal with images we can use to promote the products. It’s a great package. “
Purchasing Manager Chris Davey has been equally impressed: “Demo vans are always welcome as they are able to show complete ranges and possible solutions. They also make a great focal point for our customers who are visiting that day.
“The new PCL Point of Sale stands, products and training have enabled Thomas Graham and PCL to offer a complete end to end solution for our customers in Cumbria and the surrounding area who are considering or enjoying the benefits of compressed air operation in their businesses.
“We wanted a direct relationship with a brand leading supplier of air products, and we have found that with PCL. They offer quality, professional level products and Michael and his team are easy to deal with.”
Michael responded: “We are extremely pleased to be working with Thomas Graham, who have the same customer-centric approach as PCL. Our priority is building long-term relationships with distributors and helping them to work closely with their customers to supply the best product for specific applications; therefore we expect our partnership with Thomas Graham to be of huge benefit to end users.”
