The roadshow aims to help tradespeople across the UK learn more about new and upcoming products within the market, receive live demonstrations, trial the products themselves, and obtain top tips and advice from supplier experts who will be on hand to answer any questions attendees may have.
Between April and September, Toolstation will host suppliers at 60 different stores across the UK, including Falkirk on June 9. There will be 15 trade suppliers* in attendance throughout the roadshow, with at least five in attendance per store. In addition to the live demonstrations and advice, participating brands will also be giving away free goody bags, offering exclusive on-the-day deals and running competitions.
The retailer has teamed up with Fix Radio to help host the roadshow, who will attend every event including the one in Falkirk, during which they will give away free Greggs breakfasts to tradespeople as well as running a series of giveaways, competitions and games for tradespeople to try out.
Customers who attend during the day will also be able to benefit from a 10% in-store discount when making any purchase £75 or over.
Throughout the roadshow attendees will also have the chance to enter a prize draw hosted by Toolstation, with the chance to win a tool hamper worth over £200 made up of products from Stanley, Dulux, Luceco, Bosch, Milwaukee and more. To enter, customers simply need to make a donation to Toolstation’s charity partner Macmillan Cancer Support in-store, of which the retailer raised over £660,000 for in 2024.
In addition to leading trade brands, teams from delivery app TradeKart and technology company SumUp will attend Toolstation Falkirk. Toolstation’s recent partnership with TradeKart means customers can access over 10,000 products for delivery in as little as one hour, whilst Toolstation’s collection of SumUp card readers makes it easier than ever for businesses and trade pros to take payments on the go.
Geoff Cook, Trade Business Partner at Toolstation said: “With an already busy schedule in place, it can be challenging for our customers to stay up to date on the latest developments and trends in the industry. By gathering leading trade brands in one place and bringing their expertise across the country, we hope to provide our customers with new information, top tips and advice required to get the job done right this spring and summer.
"We look forward to welcoming local trade communities into our stores throughout this period, including those at Falkirk.”
