Toolstation Ltd is a large UK direct and online supplier of trade tools, accessories and hardware products. The company was formed in 2003 by Mark Goddard-Watts following the sale of Screwfix Direct to the Kingfisher plc group, a significant event in the UK dot-com boom, and has expanded quickly to become a significant rival to Screwfix.

The company head office and main distribution centre is in Bridgwater, Somerset where the company is a major employer for the area. This is now supplemented by an expanding number of shops and trade counters across the UK.

Trade partnership

On Monday 7th April 2008, it was announced that Toolstation Ltd and Travis Perkins plc have agreed a new partnership.

Travis Perkins, with a successful history which can be traced back to 1797, is a long-established name in the building supplies sector.

Travis Perkins has now invested in Toolstation and will be supporting an accelerated roll-out of Toolstation branches. The partnership means that Toolstation will continue to run independently, but with the financial backing of one of the UK's most successful companies.

Sponsorship

The company currently sponsors the Western Football League (UK), so it is also known as the Toolstation League.
