Hultafors Launches Special Edition Band of Builders Dry Marker at Jewsons

The trade’s favourite Dry Marker just got even better. Hultafors Tools has teamed up with Band of Builders to launch a special edition version of its bestselling Dry Marker, now available in over 300 Jewson branches nationwide. For every marker sold, 50p goes straight to Band of Builders – a charity dedicated to supporting tradespeople and their families going through tough times.

Built with the same features that make it a must-have tool on site, including a grip-friendly body, built-in sharpener, and easy-to-change lead, the marker comes in striking Band of Builders branding, making it more than just a tool, but a statement of solidarity across the industry.

This is a first-of-its-kind partnership between one of the trade’s most trusted tool brands and a charity that’s changing lives. Hultafors is kicking off the collaboration with a £9,750 donation and is fully committed to raising both money and awareness for Band of Builders.

“Band of Builders does incredible work for tradespeople facing illness, injury, or hardship; a community of people that are often overlooked,” says Nicki Hickman, Marketing Manager Hardware UK at Hultafors Group UK. “The Dry Marker was the obvious choice, as it’s always in demand on-site. Now every time you purchase one, you’re helping someone in the trade get back on their feet.”

Since its launch in 2016, Band of Builders has delivered nearly £2 million in community projects across the UK, powered by a network of volunteers and industry partners. The charity’s practical, financial, and emotional support makes a real difference for those who need it most.

“This partnership means a lot to us at Band of Builders. The new Dry Marker is more than just a useful tool – it represents real support for construction workers going through tough times,” says Gavin Crane, CEO of Band of Builders. “We’re proud to put our name on something that’s made for tradespeople and backed by people who care about the trade.”

The project has been made possible with the help of Toolbank and Jewson, ensuring that this limited-edition marker is easy to find and ready to use on jobs across the country.

With more projects already in the pipeline, this initiative is just the beginning for Hultafors Tools and Band of Builders as they kickstart their partnership to support the trade, one tool at a time. For more information, visit www.hultafors.com/en-gb / www.bandofbuilders.org
