Suppliers

“Filshill is a family-run business and they are very committed to all their suppliers and customers – you get the full package with them. What they say they’ll do, they actually do.”

These last few years have highlighted our excellent relationships with our suppliers.

Throughout Covid, the strength of this relationship was evident, with fantastic support to ensure our customers received the stock they needed. When suppliers are there for you in the hard times, it shows the depth of the partnership, and we are always grateful for their support.

We know that to succeed our customers need access to the most prominent brands to compete with the bigger retail chains. Our purchasing team works tirelessly to provide our customers with opportunities for brand product launches. We also are proud of our local Scottish suppliers and champion them across all our customer base.

Each supplier delivers directly to our customers, with Filshill handling the invoicing, keeping it simple, saving time, and saving money.
