For brand owners
Which brands do you take on?
Consumer brands that already sell well in the UK or Europe, mainly in outdoor living, BBQ and fuel, garden, drinkware, cooling, camping, personal care and home.
How long does it take to reach the shelf?
Usually three to six months from the first conversation to the first delivery. Products that need registration take longer.
Do you charge a retainer?
We normally work as a buying distributor rather than charging retainers. Retailer listing fees and marketing support are agreed case by case before we start.
Which GCC countries do you cover?
The UAE directly through Elite Horizon, and Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain through retailers and distributors that buy from Dubai.
For trade buyers
Who is the UK and EU distributor for Pull Start Fire?
Ridgeline Brands, the trading name of NAM Distribution LTD, holds the UK and EU distribution of Pull Start Fire.
On what terms do you supply?
In the UK and Europe we usually supply on FOB terms, with the importing distributor handling import obligations in its own market. In the Gulf, Elite Horizon supplies from local stock.
Can I buy Moya for my shop or company?
Yes. UK and Irish trade and corporate enquiries come to NAM. Gulf enquiries are handled by Elite Horizon. Co-branded bottles and cups are available.
