I know my face was not the one you were expecting to see here this month. Allow me to introduce myself, Supply House Times readers. My name is Nicole Krawcke and I’m the Chief Editor of the other two Plumbing Group publications, Plumbing & Mechanical and PM Engineer. I often work with Natalie Forster behind the scenes editing Supply House Times. Before my stint with PM magazine, I was a staff member for our sister publication, The AHCR NEWS. All in all, I’ve been writing about plumbing and HVAC contractors for nearly 10 years. So as I fill in for Natalie this month, I want to address the importance of the supplier-contractor relationship.
The symbiotic relationship between HVAC and plumbing wholesale distributors and contractors plays a pivotal role in ensuring successful projects and satisfied customers. Strengthening these relationships requires a strategic approach focused on communication, collaboration and mutual trust.
