Toolstation maintenance and hardware supplies

Toolstation is one of Britain's fastest-growing retailers of tools, accessories, and building supplies. Founded in 2003 by Mark Constant, the company was established by the same team behind Screwfix, aiming to offer professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts a more efficient way to purchase construction materials.

Starting with a single branch in Bristol, the brand expanded rapidly across the United Kingdom and into European markets including the Netherlands, France, and Belgium. Toolstation operates a multi-channel retail model, combining physical trade counters with a robust digital presence to ensure accessibility for its customer base.

Since 2012, Toolstation has been fully owned by Travis Perkins plc, the UK's largest supplier of building materials. While the brand is British and headquartered in Northamptonshire, its diverse inventory is sourced from a global supply chain, with products manufactured in multiple countries including the United Kingdom, China, Germany, and various other industrial hubs.
