At Purple Line we never rest on our laurels. Every product we offer goes through continuous development in its lifetime to ensure it is a market leading product, meeting and exceeding your needs.
In addition to supplying great products, we also provide the most effective supply line to our customers, online and through a comprehensive national network of preferred retail outlets. Purple Line strives to maintain a high and consistent level of customer service and aftersales care. Our product warranties, which are up to 5 years on certain products will give you the peace of mind that, in the unlikely event you are not 100% satisfied with your product or that something goes wrong, our aftersales team are on standby to provide a solution to meet your needs. We pride ourselves on this.
