Draper Tools has joined the Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) “in recognition of the importance of builders’ merchants as a core business channel for the company.”
Founded over 100 years ago selling government surplus and tools in markets in Surrey, today Draper Tools employs over 300 people at its Hampshire headquarters and exports to over 70 countries worldwide. With over 500,000 sq.ft. of state-of-the-art warehousing holding over 11,000 product lines, the company says its award-winning service “offers merchants excellent availability coupled with fast order dispatch times.”
Matt Sheen, Draper Tools CEO, said: “Merchants play an important role in ensuring customers get the best tools to use for particular jobs. Draper has a huge range from power tools to handsaws as well as electrical and plumbing tools. Membership of the BMF provides us with an opportunity to support this vital sector and we look forward to playing an active role.”
BMF CEO John Newcomb added: “I’m delighted to welcome Draper Tools into membership. I’m sure they will gain value from being part of a strong trade body in a thriving sector and I am looking forward to working with them.”
