IADA
National Power, Local Strength
Stop compromising between scale and service.
Are you experiencing a disconnect between the operational scale that you need from your industrial components provider, and the service standards that are critical at a site level?
You aren’t alone.
IADA is the only provider in the UK that offers the best of both worlds — combining the scale that comes with a national company, with the service standards (and local stocks) synonymous with independent distributors in the market.
We call this ‘National Power, Local Strength’.
A Member-Owned Cooperative
We are a member-owned co-operative of successful independent distributors, delivering major-brand industrial components, consumables and services to multi-site customers throughout the UK.
For almost 30 years, we have combined the buying power and distribution capabilities of a national chain, with the passion, service and staff-retention of smaller, local businesses. There’s no need to compromise between scale and service.
A purpose-built central function
At the core of our member-owned cooperative is our central operations and national distribution centre in Leicestershire.
This centralised hub provides customers with the same streamlined invoicing and single contact point of a national chain, plus additional backup stocks for fast distribution around the UK.
Stake-holding director in almost every branch
Did you know: the owner of each member branch is a shareholding director of IADA?
This means your sites have direct access to key board-level decision-makers within our business, allowing us to overcome challenges quickly and maintain exceptional service standards across the country.
