New Howdens Trade Book Provides On-The-Job Support For Tradespeople

Howdens - The UK's Number One Trade Kitchen Supplier, has launched its latest Trade Book.

A trade must-have - the Trade Book contains thousands of essential trade products, listed by category for easy navigation. Tradespeople can pick up a copy at over 800 Howdens depots nationwide or request a copy online.  

The latest issue of the Trade Book features more than 250 new products. These include 8 Dekton and 6 new Silestone® quartz worktop decors in the Template & Fit range – providing greater choice of high quality, durable designs. Template & Fit work surfaces are templated and fitted by Howdens worktop specialists in just 5 working days from template to fit – saving the trade time on the job.

The internal door category has been extended with a new pre-finished Barn door in oak, which provides a traditional appearance and because it is pre-finished, saves on preparation time. The new Elmbridge door is supplied primed – ready for the trade to paint and is designed to match Howdens’ Elmbridge timber framed shaker kitchen.

Within flooring, new Oake & Gray water-resistant laminate provides a durable option for use throughout the home. It’s designed with the trade in mind, for an easy fit.  The Trade Book supports tradespeople and their businesses with quality products that are designed to make their jobs easier. Product sizes and specifications are listed to make it easier for busy trade professionals to find exactly what they are looking for.

Howdens continues to grow its kitchen collection, with an affordable handleless design now available on its best-on-budget Greenwich kitchen. This allows tradespeople to provide their customers with trending kitchen designs for less.  Their popular integrated handle kitchen, Clerkenwell, is now available in on-trend Super Matt Black. New colours have also been introduced in the Halesworth collection; Antique Rose, Oak and Seafoam, which provides a realistic timber-effect for less than a solid timber kitchen.

David Sturdee, Chief Customer Officer, at Howdens, says: "The launch of the new Trade Book is important for Howdens and our trade customers. It combines all our products and reminds our customers of our exclusive trade services that support them on the job, in one easy-to-use publication.  Backed by our emphasis on UK manufacturing and local stock, it ensures customers get the right product, at the right price, and the right time, from more than 800 depots across the UK.

“The new Trade Book works seamlessly with our new Click & Collect service - allowing them to trade with us how they want."

Products in the Trade Book are available from local depot stock or can be ordered for collection within as little as 15 minutes, using the new Click & Collect service. The service lets customers view local depot stock and confidential trade prices online, place their order and have products ready to be collected from a depot of their choice, when they need them.

With over 800 local depots across the UK, Howdens offers the most extensive in-stock product collection in kitchens, joinery, doors, floors, hardware, appliances, and fitted bedrooms.
