An expert opinion
Tom Diplock, Partner & Co-Head of L.E.K. European B&C Practice
Our clients in the Building and Construction sector cover the full value chain: whether that's product and material manufacturers, distributors, or the contractors and service providers that sit around that.
One of the key challenges - particularly for those further upstream who are manufacturing and distributing products - is getting a handle on how their customer base is thinking about the world. Their customer base is often a fragmented set of small to medium size contractors and tradespeople, so knowing how they are choosing to engage with the companies that supply them is important. To inform that, we’ve undertaken a pan-European survey of tradespeople and contractors to understand particularly when it comes to purchasing a product, how they are looking to engage with suppliers across the full journey: from research to purchase to fulfillment.
