selection of hands tools, which includes products such as riveters and staplers as well as wire brushes, applicator guns and measuring tools. The new hand tools are all Timco branded, featuring the company’s signature

This range expansion comes in the landmark 50th anniversary year for Nantwich-based Timco, which now supplies a total of more than 8,000 products for the construction and industrial sectors. The latest product launches include the addition of high-viz clothing to the company’s CE-Approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) range which now includes vests, polo shirts, sweatshirts, fleeces, trousers, jackets and coats. This is on top of the more than 200 new hand tools that have been introduced this year. The product selection was specifically designed for a range of tasks covering all trades and applications for today’s demanding construction environments. Timco has further extended its ironmongery category with more than 200 new interior and exterior ironmongery products launched as part of a full range review.

products that has earned Timco its first-class reputation, but also its commitment to delivering excellent customer service to suit individual customers’ needs. Timco’s ongoing focus and investment have been centred on the website and its ongoing development to improve
speed,
search functionality and overall user experience. Examples include Related Products, Out of Stock Alternatives as well as Back in Stock Dates and a unique Stock Watch Function which provides customers with an ‘alert’ when the selected product returns to stock.
The company also introduced

This solution saves customers’ warehouse space, operational costs, and staffing costs, and provides Timco customers with access to 8,000 products overnight.
