There’s a reason people turn to us

We’re not a buying group. We’re not a conspiracy of suppliers trying to drive up sales. We actually started as tradies and construction business owners. Over time, we built a reputation for handing out guidance that tradies didn’t feel they were getting anywhere else. They kept coming back for more advice, so we started RBN.

Right from the start, RBN has run on the depth of our relationships with every party in this industry. We want everyone to thrive. We want you to be competitive, and to find a niche you care about. For us, that really is all it comes down to.

What we value
