subject: Looking Around For Clothes Wholesalers Leeds Took All Day [print this page] I worked in the fashion industry for ten years and really enjoyed the challenges which I was met with and I found the industry to be vibrant and competitive. Although I was based in Manchester for most of my career, the job often involved travelling around the country, meeting up with clothes suppliers and clothes wholesalers. The clothes wholesale market is huge and if you are looking for clothes wholesale UK then you have a lot of choice.
I remember one time when I spent the whole day visiting clothes wholesalers Leeds and was exhausted at the end of the day. At least the trip was a successful one and the company received many orders, leading to a huge profit and bonus for me, making the trip worthwhile. Wholesaling, jobbing, or distributing is defined as the sale of goods or merchandise to retailers, to industrial, commercial, institutional, or other professional business users, or to other wholesalers and related subordinated services. In general, it is the sale of goods to anyone other than a standard consumer.
The practice of wholesale is an ancient one and has benefits for both parties involved. Wholesalers frequently physically assemble sort and grade goods in large lots, break bulk, repack and redistribute in smaller lots and when it comes to clothing wholesalers, they order large amounts of clothing items in all the available sizes and then sell them on to retailers in small lots. Traditionally, wholesalers were closer to the markets they supplied than the source from which they got the products.
The wholesalers act as a bridge between the manufacturer and the retailer. Wholesalers buy goods from the manufacturers in large quantities and their major clients are retailers who buy products in bulk. But they do not necessarily sell only to retailers. They also sell to distributors or to other smaller sellers. Although the rise of supermarkets around the world has affected the wholesale business massively where they purchase goods from the manufacturer directly, the wholesale business still flourishes. Wholesalers can specifically target the environments where modernized purchasing methods are not yet in regular practice. There still are ample regions where e-buying and online shopping is not common and retailers and consumers cannot buy directly from the manufacturers.
Clothes suppliers come in all sorts of sizes and in every type of place. Clothing is the one thing which is not only an essential part of the economy, but also provides new opportunities for people in different fields. You have the clothing manufactures and the people who produce and supply the raw products. Then you all the linked businesses such as designers, the retailers, the assistants working in the shops and let us not forget the main target- the public which is buying the end product. Since fashion is constantly changing, the demand for new and different clothing will never end. This is good news for all concerned, from the farmer growing the cotton, to the clothes wholesalers who are looking to make a profit when selling.
