Last week we welcomed customers to our Ipswich branch for the third annual September Sizzler, and once again it delivered everything it promised. “Free stuff, food on us, trade deals, games and prizes” all wrapped up in a brilliant late afternoon thunder storm.
From 9am through to early afternoon Colliers @ Wherstead Road was busy with trade professionals and DIY customers making the most of the day. Leading suppliers including TuffStuff Workwear, Azpects, Global Stone Paving, Brett Landscaping, OX Tools, RUBI Group and Brett Martin were on hand with displays, product advice and live demonstrations.
The Hot Sausage Company kept everyone fuelled with free hot dogs, while customers entered the prize draw to win a wood fired pizza oven and stepped up to the challenge to win their height in beer. The combination of exclusive on the day trade deals, giveaways and hands on product insight made it a valuable event for anyone planning upcoming projects.
What makes the September Sizzler special is the balance between business and community. It is a chance to catch up properly, talk through jobs, see materials up close and meet the people behind the brands. Events like this are a reminder that Collier & Catchpole is more than a builders merchant. We are part of the local trade community in Ipswich and across Suffolk and Essex.
A huge thank you to our suppliers, our team and everyone who came along to make this year’s September Sizzler such a success. If you missed it, keep an eye on our social media for event updates and join us at the next one.
