Speaking about the launch, director of TradePoint B&Q John Morgan, said: “We’re really excited to launch “For the trade”, our first brand campaign in five years.

“We know that the trade loves the value and convenience of B&Q TradePoint – especially for top-ups or last-minute needs – but we now want to showcase the brilliant depth of our offering.

“Through our new adverts, we wanted to speak directly to trade professionals and show that B&Q TradePoint stocks everything they need to complete a full job – be it refitting a bathroom or building a stud wall.

“We’ve made real tradespeople the stars of the show and we’re excited for you to meet them. This is a new chapter for B&Q TradePoint and demonstrates how we are – in every sense – for the trade.”
