spud buying group

Built different. Backed by Chesters.

We’ve partnered with Chesters Plumbing & Bathroom to bring Plumbing businesses a buying group that’s built different. With market-competitive pricing, competitive rebates, exclusive events, and free monthly group business coaching & networking, we’re obsessed with delivering value to New Zealand Plumbing businesses.

Competitive Pricing & Rebates

  • Market-competitive trade pricing across the Chesters range

  • 3% rebate on all purchases (no matter how Chester’s perform)

  • Rebates scale as you grow:

    • 4% once annual spend passes $300,000

    • 5.5% once annual spend passes $600,000

That means the more you spend, the more you earn.

Optional 10% rebate with a price book to match.

Travel Rebates, Events & Conferences

Your membership includes a travel rebate that funds unforgettable events and conferences — a chance to learn, grow and connect in a fun environment.

How does this work?

2% of everything you spend will be collected to ensure

On the horizon:

  • NRL Grand Final – Sydney 26

  • Formula One – Singapore 26

  • Wellness Retreat – Rarotonga 26

  • Queenstown Adrenaline weekend 2025

Events will be finalised once we’ve got enough members on board and can tailor them to what the group wants. If your rebate balance isn’t quite enough, you’ll be able to top it up weekly, monthly, or yearly so you don’t miss out.

Monthly Coaching & Networking (Free)

Join our breakfast sessions each month:

  • 30–45 minutes of teaching & learning (growth, leadership, finance, performance)

  • Optional health & safety minutes for your records

  • 30 minutes of networking with like-minded trade owners

We start at 7:00am. Teaching (and H&S) wrap by 8:00am for those who need to go; networking continues until 8:30am

Why Join Spud Buying Group?

  • Backed by Chesters with sharp, market-competitive pricing - Pricing that only increases with supplier increases.

  • Rebates that grow as you grow (earn more as you spend more) - And aren’t tied to Chesters performance as a business LOL.

  • Travel rebate powering premium events & conferences

  • Free monthly business coaching & networking breakfasts

  • Optional health & safety coverage included in sessions

Price

Did we mention it was Free?

Minimum Spend:

There is no minimum spend, but if you don’t shop at Chesters, you will get very little value from this deal.
