For the first time in its history, Magnetic is also offering a connected reward scheme* with CKI’s Fusion promotion, which ran earlier in 2022. The scheme offers a number of incentives for both independents and national chains, from free Love2Shop vouchers up to £1,000 in value, to free of charge stock, based on minimum qualifying orders. Free delivery is also being provided on all Magnetic orders. Paul Pugh, Head of Marketing at CKI, said: “CKI has been a long-term partner to both the electrical and industrial trade, and we understand the importance of having those opportunities for incremental profit – especially in the current economic climate. Magnetic is our way of supporting stockists and ensuring they can stock up cost-effectively through the perfect promotional mix of proven sellers, core items, full ranges and great value deals.”

an invaluable role for the benefit of retailer and distributor members, keeping them informed of the latest Covid-related regulations at a time when these were frequently changing, and also lobbying Government for greater clarity when required.


Given the challenges currently facing the high street, the lobbying aspect of TTA’s work has never been more important, as it provides a channel to convey the views and concerns of tile retailers to local authorities, Government and regulatory bodies. TTA currently has a


strong focus on issues of sustainability and is working to provide information and guidance for all members who have to improve


their sustainability credentials, as the industry works towards Net Zero Carbon in 2050. TTA recognises however that tiles have an enormously positive story to tell on the sustainability front – being the most longlasting and durable of all wall and floor coverings, which are also inert, safe and have good thermal properties. As TTA promotes tiles and tiling, all members stand to benefit. n The Tile Association. www.tiles.org.uk. 0300 365 8453

OB1 is one of the fastest growing sealant and adhesives on the market and is now leading the way with the move to using post-consumer recycled plastic cartridges with our OB1 products. Post-consumer recycled content, often referred to as PCR, is material that is made from the items that consumers recycle every day, like aluminium, cardboard boxes, paper, and plastic bottles. Why are we making the switch to PCR? Well, not only does it have a lower carbon footprint, by requiring fewer emissions than virgin plastic, it also helps reduce landfill waste whilst still retaining all the benefits of traditional virgin plastic. A great sustainable option for us and our customers which we will see starting to enter the market later this month.


OB1 can be found in most builder & DIY merchants such as Screwfix, Selco, Brewers, Wickes, Dulux and B&Q trade points. Want to find out more about this amazing product?
