With over 40 years in business, VIP Trade has evolved from its humble beginnings as Northern Buying Group to Dyers Road ITM, and now to VIP Trade. Starting as a small timber yard in Christchurch, we have grown through dedication, industry expertise, and the support of our local community. Each name change has marked a new chapter in our journey—responding to market needs, expanding our capabilities, and enhancing our ability to serve the New Zealand building and construction industries.
From a small, independent operation to becoming part of the ITM group, we embraced opportunities for growth, compliance, and support, ultimately allowing us to better serve our customers. Our most recent transformation to VIP Trade reflects the coalition of 13 VIP Operations under one strong and unified brand, positioned to lead the market into the future. Built on the values of Value, Independence, and Performance, VIP Trade is committed to supporting our “VIPs”—the builders and tradespeople who rely on us every day.
As we continue our journey, we look forward to serving our community with the same passion, innovation, and dedication that have defined us for decades.
