About
Michael Collins started the business in 1970.
Michaels first deal packaged scissors and forceps into bags which he sold into pharmacies in Sydney’s CBD to test the market.
The deals were received well, and he thought “Ok let’s give this business a go!”
In the early days Michael would sell in the morning and pack the products himself in the afternoon.
The business grew from day one and became Budget Distributors in 1979.
As Budget Distributors grew Michael was joined by his wife Sylvie and together they ran the business for 48 years.
In 1992 their son Paul joined the business, becoming Sales Manager in 1996 and facilitating a move to their current site in Botany In 2000.
In 2018, after 48 years, Michael retired handing the reigns to Paul.
Paul has continued the family tradition putting his heart and soul into Budget Distributors and has now been joined by his wife Nicole, and children Amy and Ryan.
Paul has grown the business, developing brands MendAid, BeMed and Beauty by BeMed, increasing the range to over 1200 product lines running a team of over 25 people.
Paul has seen the pharmaceutical wholesale industry grow and change and has continued to move with it. To this day Paul is involved in every aspect of the business, continuing to bring the personal family approach.
Budget Distributors really is family caring for your family.
