TradeKart has announced a new partnership with Band of Builders, one of the construction industry’s leading charities, reinforcing the rapid delivery specialist’s commitment to supporting tradespeople both on and off the tools.
The TradeKart platform was built with a simple mission: “helping tradespeople save time, stay productive and keep projects moving.” With materials available from leading merchants including Selco, Toolstation, City Plumbing and Dulux Decorator Centre and delivery in as little as 30 minutes, the firm says that its marketplace helps reduce time spent away from site and keeps jobs running smoothly.
Through this new partnership, it is extending that support beyond materials and deliveries by helping raise awareness of the vital work Band of Builders carries out across the UK. The charity provides practical, emotional and financial support to construction workers and their families facing illness, injury and life-changing circumstances.
Under the partnership, TradeKart will support fundraising initiatives, awareness campaigns and industry events designed to help Band of Builders reach more tradespeople across the UK.
Alistair, Founder of TradeKart, said: “Tradespeople are the reason TradeKart exists. We spend every day helping people save time, avoid supply runs and keep jobs moving, but this partnership is about something much bigger than materials.
“Band of Builders represents everything that’s great about our industry. When someone needs help, the trade community shows up. That’s exactly what Band of Builders has been doing for years, and we’re incredibly proud to support its work.”
Band of Builders CEO Gavin Crane added: “We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome TradeKart as a Strategic Partner of Band of Builders. Its support reflects a genuine commitment to standing alongside the construction community and helping us to show up and deliver life-changing support to those facing difficult circumstances.
“Every partnership we build strengthens our ability to support construction workers and their families when they need us most. Whether that’s through practical project work, financial assistance or wellbeing support, our aim is to ensure nobody faces their toughest challenges alone.”
Gaving continued: “TradeKart’s support will play a vital role in helping us expand our reach, raise awareness of the support available and provide hope to more people across the UK construction sector. We’re incredibly grateful to the entire team for their support and belief in our mission, and we look forward to working together to make an even greater difference to the lives of those who need it most.”
