we are based in derby. over the years we have used all the local wholesalers, but f nation do everything i need from a wholesaler. the price may be a bit higher but the thing we like the best is good old fashioned customer service. a wholesaler that not only cares about making money but cares that you are spending your money with them. some of the local wholesalers could not care less if you spent £10.00 or £1000.00 and you would be lucky if you got a "goodmorning" from them.
