I've just found this place freemanharding.co.uk selling jars with gold lids 24 for £10:75
With a 10% discount to bbka members does this sound good

Does your local association operate a trading scheme for members? These often work out cheaper because they buy in bulk

- enough (but all insured!)
I've always used them, because jars and lids, come together on a pallet.
I'm sure there are cheaper alternatives, but I'm happy.

My local association deals with F&H but I don't know if there are better deals out there

Best prices are usually from the Association (with them having obtained a bulk discount and delivery, but starting from the "show/convention offer" pricing).
For hex jars, Pattesons (not PatteRsons) Glass often have 'special offers'. Notably their pricing does straightforwardly include vat & delivery.

Again, C. Wynne Jones, near Ruthin, an easy run from Scholar Green which (I've just learned) is near Stoke on Trent.

Pattesons
I've used Pattesons; service is prompt and efficient and jars are well packaged.
Following the same theme - where is the best place for labels?
