A new one-stop-shop for DIY and building supplies is set to open its doors for the first time on Friday this week.

FD Supplies, in Brierley Park Close, in Stanton Hill, is stocked with thousands of products, with everything from tools, equipment, lighting and electrical, to timber, metalwork, and fixings.

The new shop is open to members of the public and home improvement enthusiasts, as well as experienced tradespeople.

It stocks innovative brands such as RTRMAX, DEMSUN, EUROFIX, FIREPRO, and many more.

Co-founder Kieran Percival said: “We have exclusive deals with suppliers which means we can offer quality products at lower costs to the big DIY stores and building supplies chains.

“FD Supplies is part of a group of manufacturing companies so we know what the trade wants and needs, and so it makes perfect sense for us to open up a shop selling everything tradespeople need.”

FD Supplies is holding an Open Day to trade and public between 12pm and 3pm on Friday, September 1.

People will be able to see the range of products available, meet suppliers, and be in with a chance of winning a £50 voucher. For purchases over £10 on the open day, people will also get a free burger.

Coun Mathew Relf is Ashfield District Council’s executive lead member for Growth, Regeneration and Local Planning. He said: “I have had the pleasure of meeting Kieran and members of his Fire Door Specialists team a few times now and their passion for fire door safety and our local area shines through.

“New start-ups like this show that Ashfield and the broader area is a brilliant place to start and grow businesses. I am certain the future is bright for FD Supplies and that they will continue to grow, bringing more quality jobs to our local area.”
