About 2buy2
At 2buy2, we’re not just passionate about procurement; we’re driven by a vision.
Transforming Procurement, Impacting Communities
At the heart of 2buy2’s inception lies a story of purpose and dedication.
Founded in 2009 by Rob Kissick, in collaboration with his brother-in-law, Russell Stables, 2buy2 emerged from a shared commitment to making a difference.
Their vision was clear: to create a company that not only assisted churches in reducing operational costs through efficient procurement but also contributed to the broader community.
Beyond profit, 2buy2 was born with the belief that businesses should have a clear social value and actively contribute to society in diverse ways.
