LOCAL tradespeople are being invited to get hands-on with the latest tools and products as Toolstation brings its supplier roadshow to Cinderford.

The event will take place on Thursday, April 16 at the town’s Toolstation store on Broadmoor Road, offering a chance for those in the trade to meet industry experts, watch live demonstrations and try out new equipment.

Five major brands will be in attendance, including Milwaukee, CT1, Toupret, Ciret and Yale. Each will be showcasing products and offering practical advice to help tradespeople stay up to date with developments in the sector.

Visitors will also be able to take advantage of exclusive on-the-day deals, including a 10 per cent discount on purchases over £75, as well as free refreshments, competitions and product giveaways.

Alongside the suppliers, teams from TradeKart and SumUp will be present to highlight services designed to support tradespeople, from rapid product delivery to mobile payment solutions.

The event forms part of Toolstation’s nationwide spring and summer roadshow, which will visit 60 stores across the UK between April and September, bringing together professionals and suppliers in a practical, accessible setting.

A prize draw will also be held on the day in aid of British Heart Foundation, with attendees invited to donate in-store for a chance to win a bundle of tools and equipment.

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, we hope to provide the information, tips and advice needed to get the job done right this spring and summer.”

The roadshow is open to all local tradespeople throughout the day, with organisers encouraging early attendance to make the most of demonstrations and limited giveaway stock.
