Galpeg, one of the UK’s longest established distributors of branded and non-branded promotional items, has launched a Galpeg Associate Programme, which has been designed to empower experienced members of the promotional merchandise community by supporting them in developing their own new business.

Paul Green, managing director of Galpeg, said: “With nearly 37 years experience in the industry we know what is required to support an Associate, to build their business and maximise their earnings.  By providing the tools for an Associate to develop their own brand, service their customers in their own way, and run a winning enterprise, we are empowering them to succeed while minimizing all the financial risks associated with being independent.”

Associates will benefit from comprehensive purchasing and financial support, giving them peace of mind about credit, cashflow, payment chasing and managing financial relationships with suppliers.  The involvement of Galpeg not only provides reassurance to customers about the financial stability of their supplier, it also provides Associates with the confidence to target larger contract and tender opportunities and even to aim for preferred supplier status with customers, all of which can be issues and limitations for a start-up business.

As well as providing financial support, Galpeg is able to provide Associates with marketing and operations support including access to suppliers, a dedicated 0844 phone number, a stand-alone quotations package, and specially negotiated discounted prices and sourcing advantages with a website for their trading name.  This enables them to leverage Galpeg’s established business infrastructure and route to market to their personal advantage.  Galpeg pays a share of the profit to the Associate each month, assisting them with their own cash flow requirements.

Paul Green continues: “Galpeg Associates have the freedom to grow sales in the knowledge that they will enjoy a fair and proportionate financial reward.  The more sales the Associate achieves, the greater the share they receive.  In these tough economic times, it gives business professionals with knowledge, experience and contacts in the promotions industry every opportunity to build their own asset and to be successful and reap the benefits.”
