RSD Supplies & Services was formed in May 1999 to provide an improved service to both on and offshore facilities with General Consumables, commonly known as Rope Soap & Dope.

In March 2000 we moved to new premises at Poynernook Road which has allowed us to increase the size and range of our stockholding, further enhancing our service to our clients. Our philosophy from the outset has always been to offer our clients a First Class service from knowledgeable, friendly staff, a full range of competitively priced goods and second to none delivery - direct to your warehouse.

The Directors of RSD Supplies & Services Ltd, Bob Cowie and Abbey McDonald, have between them over 40 years experience in the supply of consumables. All of our staff have been handpicked for their knowledge and dedication to their work and it is our aim to provide our clients with a one-stop solution for their consumable requirements. We ensure that there is adequate human resources and skills for all our staff to operate efficiently and professionally through continual education and training.

Quality Assurance - We keep a comprehensive approved vendor list as part of our Quality Management System and regularly review both the quality of the products we supply and the performance of our vendors, to ensure that we maintain the standard of goods we hold in stock. Our QMS is audited internally twice a year and once a year by the Certifying Authority and we constantly monitor the market place for improved or superior quality goods within our scope of supply.

On offer to our clients is the facility to use us as “Purchasing Agent”. This is a service which we find being used more often by our clients to keep their vendor base down. We can operate this service by various means which the client will find extremely cost effective.

We are actively pursuing new areas to improve our service to our clients. The areas we have identified are: e-Business Solutions, Alliance Partnerships, EDI and Real Time Processing of MR/PO at RSD premises. We believe that our clients would gain significant benefits from these processes, mainly in their Procurement and Accounting Departments via a reduction in the following areas: phone calls, faxes, delivery notes, invoices/credit notes and statements.
