Thank you to everyone who made our third Summer Bonanza the best yet. One word: SCORCHIO (adj.): extremely hot and sunny. Also more generally, extremely hot.
From 9am through to mid afternoon, the yard was full of trade customers, DIY visitors and familiar faces enjoying one of our biggest events of the year. With more than 20 leading suppliers in attendance including Azpects, TuffStuff Workwear, Global Stone and Keylite Roof Windows, there was plenty to see, plenty to learn and plenty of conversations happening across the branch.
The atmosphere was fantastic from the start. Free wood fired pizza from The Mobile Pizza Co kept everyone fuelled, while live demos from RUBI Tools & TIMCO kept everyone busy throughout the day. Visitors took advantage of exclusive trade deals running across the event and enjoyed the mix of product displays, expert advice, games & prizes.
As always, the competitions brought a bit of fun to the yard. The prize draw to win a PS5 created plenty of excitement, Sarah’s hook-a-duck game handed out instant wins and the ever popular challenge to win your height in beer had people measuring up with confidence. The first 50 visitors also walked away with a gift bag of goodies.
What makes the Summer Bonanza special is not just the suppliers or the sunshine, but the community feel. It is a chance to step away from the counter, catch up properly, talk through upcoming projects and see new products up close. Events like this remind us why Collier & Catchpole has always been more than a merchant. We are a meeting point for the local trade and DIY community, and have been for years.
A huge thank you to our suppliers, our team and everyone who came along to make it such a memorable day. If you missed it this time, keep an eye on our social media for event updates and more.
