Welcome to the The Ames Companies Media Centre

Through 111, a simplified customer journey is made a reality. No longer do customers need a separate account to order from each brand. Instead, a single account with AMES Companies will allow a customer to place a single order producing one delivery of goods from across the AMES Companies’ complete portfolio, which is bursting with proven sellers such as Kelkay, Apta, La Hacienda, AMES Tools, Easy Fountain, and Woodshaw - a portfolio that no other supplier can boast of.

MOQs also become easier than ever to achieve, with one signal MOQ that covers all brands, whilst one invoice and one delivery help streamline logistic and financial planning. Through 111, the team is confident that many more retailers will convert to long-term AMES Companies customers as the value of “under one roof” is fully recognised.

Paul North, Managing Director of the AMES Companies UK, commented: "The introduction of our 111 initiative marks a pivotal moment for AMES Companies UK. By bringing all our heritage brands together under one roof, we are not only simplifying the process for our retail partners but also safeguarding the legacy of these trusted names. This move demonstrates our unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence, ensuring we continue to lead as the supplier of choice to the garden retail sector."

Benefit from the AMES Companies business values

Additionally, retailers can rest assured that the new 111 initiative will draw benefits from the company’s ongoing investment in infrastructure, logistics and people. From its central headquarters in Pollington, East Yorkshire, the AMES Companies enjoy year-round product availability, enhanced confidence in logistics and delivery systems, plus numerous on-site upgrades all contribute to a superior customer experience.
