Listen on:

Distribution is just about getting things from A to B, right? Think again. At scale, it’s a highly complex business, combining inventory management, technology, customer relationships, and a relentless focus on efficiency.

Few companies do distribution better than Ferguson, North America's leading specialist supplier of plumbing, HVAC and waterworks solutions. From small copper fittings to 40-foot pipes, if a tradesperson needs a product, chances are Ferguson has it in stock and can deliver it the next day.

In this episode of Digging Deeper, George Dent speaks to Ferguson stock champion Alan Edington. Together, they explore what sets Ferguson apart, the diverse opportunities supporting future growth, and why we believe its long record of market share gains has further to run.
