    I wouldn’t really worry about “where” your buying supplies from mate. Most of the companies I use deliver by next day carrier anyway so it doesn’t really matter if they are local to you. It is occasionaly useful if you are in the s*it and need to go and get something the same day but in practice I have only had to do this twice in 10yrs !
    Anyway here are some suggestions for you to try nationaly –

    For sheet plastic/dibond/vinyl etc.-
    Cox plastics – check web for local branch http://www.roberthorne.co.uk
    Amari plastics – ” ” http://www.amariplastics.com

    For vinyl/accessories etc-
    Metamark – 01483 571111
    Grafityp – 01827 300500
    Hexis – 01543 411221
    Victory – 01246 570570
    APS – 01753 696977
    Spandex – 01454 616444

    These should start you off, there are countless others too….
