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

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.
