One of the UK’s fastest growing and largest suppliers of tools have opened a brand-new store in Cumbria.

Toolstation opened its doors in Workington to the public on Monday with a new store based at the Clay Flatts Industrial Estate on Buddle Road - creating seven new roles in the area and bringing essential products to local trade and DIY customers.

Established in 2003, the company offers a wide range of trade quality products both in store and online, and continue their commitment to quickly and conveniently provide trade, DIYers and homebuilders with tools and more to tackle any task.

The knowledgeable Workington store team will be on hand with expert advice and reliable service.

Manager of the store, Richard Gollins said: “We are pleased to have opened the new store and look forward to supporting local tradespeople, DIYers and home builders with tools and more in Workington.”

The company allows their customers to safely purchase the essentials they need from stores directly or at toolstation.com through their Click & Collect service, with most products available within five minutes after purchase.

The Workington store now means that the county has five Toolstations in place, with the new premises joining branches in Carlisle, Penrith, Kendal and Barrow-in-Furness.

Customers of the Workington store will also be able to try out Toolstation’s brand new customer app, providing the quickest and easiest way for trade and DIY customers to shop with Toolstation.

The app helps customers order over 22,000 products with real-time stock-availability. The app will also help Trade Credit customers fully manage their accounts on the go. They can pay for orders, check their credit account, pay balances and download invoices.

Toolstation’s Trade Credit account offering also provides better cash flow management, with up to 60 days interest-free credit, flexible credit limits and fully online account management. Signing up for a Trade Credit Account allows customers to buy now and pay later and get the tools and supplies needed for larger jobs.

Toolstation Workington is open seven days a week, from 7am to 8pm Monday to Friday, 7am to 7pm Saturday and 9am to 4pm Sundays.
