Toolstation to host spring and summer roadshow in Glasgow
Toolstation's 2025 Spring and Summer Supplier Roadshow will take place at the retailer's Glasgow Parkhead branch on Tuesday, June 17.
It will feature leading trade brands including DeWalt, Bosch, Tourpet, CT1, Forgefix, and Luceco.
Geoff Cook, trade business partner at Toolstation, said: "With an already busy schedule in place, it can be challenging for our customers to stay up to date on the latest developments and trends in the industry.
"By gathering leading trade brands in one place and bringing their expertise across the country, we hope to provide our customers with new information, top tips, and advice required to get the job done right this spring and summer.
"We look forward to welcoming local trade communities into our stores throughout this period, including those at Glasgow."

The retailer has also partnered with Fix Radio for the event, which will be offering free Greggs breakfasts to attendees along with additional giveaways, competitions, and games.
Those in attendance will also receive a 10% in-store discount on all purchases of £75 or more during the event.
