We hosted our 2nd annual Summer Bonanza at our Colchester branch on Thursday, 27th June.
It was a day to remember — 20+ leading suppliers, local builders, contractors, industry supporters and DIY enthusiasts came together to network, explore the latest products, and discuss upcoming projects.
Visitors enjoyed a free wood-fired pizza from The Mobile Pizza Co, baked fresh on-site. The first 50 visitors got to take home an exclusive gift bag filled with goodies. We also had instant win raffle and a prize draw throughout the day to win a PlayStation 5.
A special guest: Jessica Fitch-Hall — Colchester based, Senior TKM racer, Club 2000 O Plate Winner 2022 and British Championship contender 2023. Jess joined in the demo’s and performed a few tricks to visitors in the afternoon, ahead of a packed summer racing schedule.
We enjoyed live tool and product demonstrations, which provided a great opportunity to explore new solutions for upcoming projects. In addition to the fun and games, exclusive trade deals were available throughout the day.
The event was not only about showcasing products but also about building strong relationships within the community. A big thank you to our Summer Bonanza 24 exhibitors: Brett Martin, SSQ Natural Slate, Fernco Ltd, Long Rake Spar Co Ltd, JB Kind Doors, Pavestone UK Limited, Bradstone, Clark-Drain, Everbuild Building Products, TIMCO, Toolbank, FP McCann, Mannok, Joule UK and Haemmerlin UK.
