Toolstation Celebrates 20 Years With Supplier Trade Show

Toolstation, one of Britain’s fastest growing suppliers of tools, accessories and building supplies, will be hosting a trade show between the 15^th and 28^th February in celebration of its 20 years in business. Customers will have the chance to meet some of Toolstation’s top suppliers that have joined the business in the last 20 years, including DeWalt, Milwaukee, Google, Wilo, KitchenKit and more.

The event will be hosted at Toolstation’s store in Bristol, Whiteladies Road, with the landmark store being the first to open within the business back in 2003.

Over the course of the two weeks attendees will receive free product demonstrations from the suppliers, insight into new and upcoming ranges, and a new range of fun freebies every day. The trade event will start on the 15^th February with representatives from DeWalt, and finish on the 28^th February with representatives from Fluidmaster and Salamander. A full overview of suppliers attending can be found below:

To kick start the celebrations, store colleagues and customers at Bristol Whiteladies Road were surprised with a commemorative cake hand-delivered by popular trade professional partners and radio hosts The Bald Builders.

The cake was designed in recognition of Toolstation’s product catalogue, which has been a staple of the business since being founded, with the 95^th edition recently launching in January.

As part of their surprise visit, The Bald Builders also put up a commemorative plaque acknowledging it as the site of the first Toolstation store, which can be located outside the front entrance.

Brad Hanson and Sam Hughes from The Bald Builders said “We had a really enjoyable day going to Toolstation Bristol Whiteladies Road where it all began 20 years ago. We’re incredibly excited to see what the next 20 years bring and no doubt Toolstation will continue to provide their customers with great value and quality. We hope our celebratory cake went down well, although we had to try very hard not to take a slice ourselves!”

Since the opening of its first store Toolstation has continued to grow as a business and is now one of the leading suppliers of tools, accessories and building supplies with over 550 stores based across the UK.

As part of the celebrations, Toolstation has unveiled 20 deals for tradespeople and DIYers to help them secure the best possible prices for trade-quality products, including discounts on DeWalt power tools, Tado smart home accessories, Milwaukee storage solutions and more. Plus for a limited time only, Toolstation are offering new customers downloading the Toolstation’s app an additional 10% off their first app order (see app for details).
