TV DIY and gardening guru, Tommy Walsh has launched a fast and competitive shopping comparison website, with an impressive inventory of merchant contributors and a wide array of products; Tradessupermarket.com is aimed at the construction trade and DIY enthusiasts.
As the UK faces its toughest recession since the 1930s, Trades Supermarket launches at a welcome time for tradespeople and consumers, who want to find the best deals for building materials and tools, including drills, kitchens and flooring:
- For consumers who don’t have the skills of tradespeople, but want to ‘have a go’ – a section on-site called ‘Tommy’s Trade Secrets’ provides a portfolio of video diaries by Tommy and his friends undertaking DIY tasks. The footage provides helpful hints and tips and advises about the necessary material and tool requirements.
- Tommy’s Deals is another section on the site, this time dedicated to bestsellers and deals of the week and is categorised by hand-tools, powertools, work-wear and materials.
- In addition to listing the products of the UK’s larger and more well-known merchants including B&Q, Screwfix and Wickes, smaller independents are also included, providing an important balance of materials, tools and prices, from brands such as Makita and Ryobi.
Commenting, Tommy Walsh, said: “In Tradessupermarket.com we have a site, which not only stores a large catalogue of products, but can also be used as a resource for DIYers who need practical help at home, be it a lesson on how to plaster a wall or hang a door.
“Cost and value has never been more important than it is today and so we hope the site will become a valuable tool for consumers and businesses looking for the best deals, without the hassle of searching through endless shopping sites.
A hard landscaper by trade, Tommy shot to fame in the 1990s, alongside Charlie Dimmock and Alan Titchmarsh in Groundforce.
