Over the past year, Plumbers Co-op has faced significant challenges with escalating costs, attributed to global factors impacting material,distribution, and labour expenses.
Despite diligently seeking operational efficiencies, the Co-op has absorbed many of these increased costs to shield our members from the impact including holding over November supplier price increases until December. However, the magnitude of these rises necessitates a strategic response. Plumbers Co-op must announce an average of 2.9% increase to maintain the delivery of quality services to our members.
Plumbers Co-op emphasises transparency, aiming to keep all members and account holders well-informed about the evolving circumstances, particularly in terms of pricing adjustments.
