What Andrew Sheret does

Andrew Sheret Limited is a family-owned Canadian distributor of plumbing, heating, refrigeration, irrigation, waterworks, and fire protection products, founded in 1892 in Victoria, British Columbia and still led by the founder's great-grandchildren. The company operates a two-channel platform: a B2B trade distribution business serving plumbers, HVAC contractors, and other trade professionals through 32 branches, 29 showrooms, and the ASL Online Customer Portal across British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan; and a B2C consumer business under the Splashes Bath & Kitchen sub-brand, offering curated bathroom and kitchen products through showrooms and splashes.com with Canada-wide shipping.

The product portfolio spans 12+ categories including Plumbing, Residential HVAC, Commercial HVAC, Irrigation, Pumps, Waterworks, Fire Protection, Hydronics, Kitchen, Bathroom, Tools, Electrical, and Hardware. The technology stack centers on the ASL Online trade portal — providing invoicing, contracts, statements, product catalog, order management, and Fastlane pickup service — plus a Progressive Web App for mobile access and a Flex Points loyalty program accruing one point per $60 spent, redeemable across all branches. Revenue mechanics are primarily transactional product sales augmented by loyalty redemption engagement and a Warehouse Deals channel for clearance inventory.

The company maintains no external investors and operates as a private limited entity under British Columbia jurisdiction. Strategic positioning is reinforced through memberships in AD (Affiliated Distributors) and major Canadian trade associations including CIPH, BCWWA, and BCGWA, plus an Equifax partnership for commercial credit verification. Geographic reach is concentrated in Western Canada, with an "Online East" Ontario branch extending e-commerce reach beyond the physical footprint. No public filings, M&A activity, or recent leadership transitions are disclosed in the available material.
