INDUSTRY UPDATE THE IPG Supporting Independents
TLWGlobal Appoints Nigel Hall as Head of Strategy and Business Development
The IPG – Trade Local Day: Supporting Proud, Independent Businesses
very year on the 9th of September, The IPG leads Trade Local Day, an initiative dedicated to shining a spotlight on the strength and spirit of independent plumbing stores and bathroom showrooms who are members of The IPG. But this isn’t just a date on the calendar, it’s a growing movement. It unites our members across the country, all standing together and shouting about the same thing: that they are proudly independent and part of The IPG. It’s a celebration of resilience, community and the values that make independent businesses so essential to the areas they serve. Trade Local Day champions the values that set independent plumbing stores and bathroom showrooms apart: flexibility, service, trust and a genuine connection to the communities they serve. When you support an independent, you’re not just buying parts or fittings, you’re backing local jobs, specialist advice and businesses that go the extra mile for every customer.

At The IPG, we believe in the power of working together. Trade Local Day represents a dynamic movement of like-minded businesses that empowers and unites our trade community. Together, we’re not just part of the industry, we’re shaping its future.
