MARC is dedicated to helping our clients by making product sourcing and procurement as simple and straightforward as possible. We are able to assist in product sourcing and development, branding and licensing, and quality control.

Our clients place their trust in our expertise, confident in the reliability of our suppliers and committed to the highest levels of service. We work with some of the largest retailers and distributors in the UK, USA and Europe.

MARC has established offices and our own staff in China and Vietnam, and are therefore able to offer a superior range of products in a variety of categories. Product sourcing, manufacturing and procurement made simple!

Our clients vary in size and focus.  Whether you are a senior buyer for a large multiple, a retail chain or a wholesaler, we will work with you to define a specific programme or source a product line.  We will be your global “eyes and ears” identifying new product or developing new purchasing programmes.

MARC is much more than an "agent"; we are striving to build long-term relationships.  We provide new ideas and products ranges, tailored to our clients' existing product base. MARC offers a proactive service.

Key to our continuing success is the development of relationships with our global manufacturers. Over the last 20 years we have developed a rigorous vendor selection methodology.

Vendors are chosen on their ability to consistently deliver quality product on a timely basis to exact product specification.  MARC review production and quality control procedures and assess product portfolio.  Vendors are also chosen according to strict criteria of product quality, depth of range, product development and price.

Our continual visits to our supply base ensure we are up to date with their product ranges and new products.  Each of these products is available to view on our online product database. You can Create an Account with us to view the full catalogue.

Once an order is taken we will manage the complete process from inception until delivery.  We are in constant contact with our suppliers and will keep you up to date on any issues affecting delivery timescales and shipping.

Each container is inspected by our own QC staff ensuring the correct product, labelling and container specification. Banking, shipping documentation and road transport can be arranged and monitored by our team.

As part of our vendor management process we are constantly developing new and existing ideas to propose to our client base.  We have successfully assisted in the development of new exclusive product ranges, developed new ranges of client’s own brands, and worked with clients to re-engineer key product specifications.

Our product knowledge and vendor linkage means that an idea can be rapidly developed allowing our clients to gain a critical time advantage over their competitors and with product life-cycle times shrinking this means genuine revenue gains.

Where clients wish to use a recognised global brand we have developed Oak Glade.

Our product consulting service leverages our vendor knowledge and existing domain knowledge in certain niche retail areas.  We are constantly updated with new product information and innovation.

We recognise that many clients continue to sell based upon “price” whilst adopting similar product ranges as their direct competitors.  Whilst we understand that this is essential there are many other ways to differentiate a product line and achieve full margins in the process.  We are able to advise on product labelling and packaging, colours and new and exclusive product ranges.
