Innovation doesn't start on the shelf. It starts behind the counter. ✨

Independent merchants are often the first to introduce installers to new products, but they need the right support from manufacturers to do it with confidence.

As IPG member Jason Drake, Director of Mech-Elec Wholesale LTD explains, investing in merchant education and product knowledge doesn't just benefit merchants, it helps new innovations reach the people who'll use them.

Do you think manufacturers should be doing more to support independent merchants?
