City Plumbing’s National Trade Day Returns

City Plumbing is bringing back its National Trade Event on Thursday 12 November, giving tradespeople across the UK another chance to pick up exclusive deals, get expert advice and see products in action.

Following the success of October’s event, which saw customers benefit from 5% cashback on qualifying purchases, branches nationwide will once again be teaming up with leading suppliers for a day of special offers, live demonstrations and free breakfast, helping customers make their money go further this winter heating season.

With installers juggling busy workloads, rising costs and customers looking to get the most from their budgets, the event is designed to make it easier for tradespeople to get what they need for the jobs ahead.

Hemal Morjaria, Chief Commercial Officer at City Plumbing, said: “We had a great response to our last National Trade Day, so we’re giving customers another chance to grab some great deals and get the support they need.

“We know that every minute and penny counts for trades and their customers at the moment. Whether you’re stocking up on heating essentials, sourcing parts for a repair, or getting ready for your next installation, we want to help you get what you need at the right price, without spending your working day chasing it down.

“The event brings suppliers and our branch teams together so customers can see products in action, ask questions, find out what’s new and take advantage of some great offers. And there’s a free breakfast while you’re at it!”

City Plumbing’s research highlights just how much time tradespeople lose sourcing materials. Nearly half (47%) regularly visit two or more merchants each day, with many losing at least 30 minutes in the process.

Helping trades spend less time sourcing materials and more time getting jobs done is a key focus of City Plumbing’s Everything You Need campaign this winter, which features its extensive product range, digital tools and specialist services.

Key supplier partners for the event include Wavin UK, Vaillant UK and UK Cylinders Ltd, with support from manufacturers including ADEY, Daikin UK, Geberit UK, Glow-worm, Mira Showers, Stelrad, Airflow Developments, Altecnic, Baxi, Worcester Bosch, Bristan, Grant Engineering, Grant Westfield, GRUNDFOS, Hispec, Ideal Heating, Ideal Standard, KUDOS Showers, Mapei, MERLYN, Roca, Verona, Viessmann Climate Solutions and AGA Rangemaster.

Hemal added: “Whether you’re a regular customer or haven’t visited us for a while, pop into your local branch and see what’s on offer. We had some great deals last time, including 5% cashback, and we’ve got more planned to help customers make their money go even further.”
