Founded in 1994, United Merchants plc (Unimer) operated as a leading buying society for a network of independent merchants across the United Kingdom. Its core mission was to leverage the collective purchasing power of its members to negotiate better prices and terms with suppliers of building, plumbing, and timber materials. In late 2017, the members of United Merchants voted to merge with the National Buying Group (NBG), creating a larger and more influential entity in the UK's independent merchant sector. Following the successful merger, the company United Merchants plc was officially dissolved on 22 May 2018.
