This is the list of all the suppliers, that we currently have on our PECOS ordering system, that we use for tools, ironmongery, building supplies, paint, truss, rigging, staging, drapes & pretty much everything else we require. This list is by no means exhaustive and there are maybe hundreds more suppliers on our system. These are, however, the ones specifically useful to our day to day working. If you are thinking of purchasing anything else it is a good idea to speak to a staff member to find out if they are on our system. You are also free to search for suppliers outside of it and we are happy to add other suppliers to this list, but that would require the starting of an account with that supplier first.
