SBS Product Guide 2020

Smith Brothers would like to formally introduce you to our latest product guide, just in time for 2020! SBS has grown substantially since the launch of our last product guide in 2018 so we felt it was time to launch a bigger and better guide for our customers.

The product guide gives readers an insight into the family run business, which dates back to 1897. It features up to date information on the product ranges available at SBS, along with a vital statistics supplement designed to help customers answer those everyday queries.

Company Information

Much has happened at Smith Brothers over the last couple of years. We relocated Birmingham, Oldham and Rainham branches, opened a brand new branch in Newcastle whilst launching a tube distribution centre in Smethwick, taking our total number of depots to 15. Our turnover has increased from £90 million to over £115 million highlighting impressive growth of over 25% in such a short space of time.

Other company highlights since 2018 include:

• Being featured in the Sunday Times Grant Thornton Top Track 250, which ranks Britain’s private mid-market growth companies with the biggest sales.
• Entering the ‘Hall of Flame’ twice by winning back to back wholesaler/distributor of the year trophies at the 2018 and 2019 HVR Awards.
• Developing a green initiative which can be found within the brochure.
• Being placed 51^st in the Top Leicestershire’s Companies for 2019.
• Making the top 10 in the Leading Lights 2019 publication.
• Launching a company YouTube channel, giving customers a visual insight into the size, stock and storage capabilities of our depots.

Product Information

There are over 90 suppliers listed so we decided to split the products into eight simple categories to make the brochure easier to navigate:

• Metal Pipe Systems
• Plastic Pipe Systems
• Valves and Drainage
• Commercial Heating and Plant
• Air Conditioning and Refrigeration
• Ancillaries and Consumables
• Renewables
• Tool Hire

Each category is then expanded further, giving readers a snap-shot of the vast product range available at SBS, whilst also highlighting the relevant supply chain. If ever you require more information regarding any SBS product, our knowledgeable members of staff are always on hand to help.

In case you didn’t already know, Smith Brothers also offer an extensive tool hiring service through our award nominated (H&V News Awards) partnership with MEP hire, part of the Hire station group.

Vital Statistics

The vital statistics section contains a variety of important industry statistics to help with your everyday questions. These statistics include detailed information on pipe systems by application, flange charts, jointing guides, comparison charts along with tube size, weight and thickness tables to only name a few sections.
