Success for TIMco at NBG Awards 2018

On the 13th November, we attended the National Buying Group (NBG) Awards evening. The awards were presented at a Gala Dinner held at the Cunard Building Liverpool at the close of the NBG’s Annual Conference for 2018. We couldn’t quite believe what the awards ceremony had in store for us...

Professional Darts Player Nathan Aspinall Sits Down With TIMco On Monday 17th September, Professional darts player, Nathan Aspinall, paid a visit to the our offices where he presented a signed shirt and gave our team an insight into his professional darts skills first-hand. Nathan wanted to say thank you to us for the sponsorship he received that helped him compete at the highest level throughout the year and also for our ongoing support. We have proudly sponsored Nathan for the past year, having been first introduced by his manager and promoter, Martin Foulds, who is also the owner of Prestige Building Supplies, Rochdale, one of our UK stockists.
Is The Future Female for the Construction Industry? With the skills shortage a pressing industry issue, many construction professionals are exploring how encouraging women, a demographic who currently only occupy 14% of construction jobs, to join the sector could potentially tackle the skills issue. Although there are various reports and statistics, all research finds that there are significantly less women working in construction than there are men, despite trade jobs being a brilliant career path for all, regardless of gender. The good news is that the number of women working within construction is increasing; according to Go Construct, 37% of new entrants that came into the industry from higher education were women, however, here at TIMco, we believe that this statistic can be higher still, and so we thought that we’d delve into the reasons why the construction industry is still considerably male dominated and what can be done to promote the sector to more women.
The Original TIMbag Just Got Better The resealable and durable TIMbag has been ticking all the right boxes, especially for those who work on site. But, here at TIMco, we believe that there’s always room for improvement, so we went back to the drawing board and considered all the people who use the TIMbag and what they may need from the product. We came up with a new, fresh, innovative look that would better address these needs. So here it is, the original TIMbag that just got better.
TIMco’s New Quality Control Facilities: What They Mean for Products & Customers The quality of our products and services is of upmost importance to us here at TIMco. Over the past 40 years, we have been building a reputation of providing the highest quality products at good value prices for our independent customers across the UK and Europe. In order to help facilitate effective quality controls, we have implemented local quality control checks in the Far East by opening an office in Taiwan. This office will guarantee that the quality of our products is checked and monitored throughout the manufacturing process, from raw material selection to ensuring that the product matches the details drawings from the individual product specifications. This helps to ensure that no low-quality products are dispatched from the Far East to the UK.
TIMco's New Adhesive Range is Set to STICK AROUND......... Our entire adhesives range is premium grade, high strength and includes bond accelerators in the formulas for faster-than-ever bonding, ideal when you’re working within a time-frame or when a firm hold is required to progress to the next phase of a job. Our multi-purpose adhesive was initially developed for the carpet and flooring industry to effectively bond PU and foam-backed carpets, carpet tiles and underlay to concrete, screed, timber and metal. However, the multi-purpose adhesive, which is heat resistant up to 60c. lives up to its name due to its versatility and is suitable for use in a wide variety of trade and domestic applications such as construction, automotive, shop fitting, furniture manufacturing, caravan fabrication, signage, hobbies and crafts, upholstery and much more. For those installing flooring like linoleum and ceramic to damp environments like kitchens and bathrooms, our premium grade high strength instant adhesive is the ideal product to bond two joined surfaces together quickly and can withstand temperatures up to 90c for both internal and external applications.
Newcomers to the Taurus Range This Summer Here at TIMco we’ve been hard at work on our 2018 catalogue which now has over 6,500 products.

The new and improved packaging is tamper and water resistant, securing the included fixings and protecting the products from damage. Since the release of our Taurus range we have since had some newcomers which are certainly worth a look. From hinges to padbolts, door bolts and latches, to garage door holders.
