TOOLFAIR TAKEN BY STORM
» » ADHESIVE, SEALANT AND TAPE
specialists illbruck went down a storm during
the Manchester and Exeter legs of Toolfair,
the travelling trade show for builders and
tradespeople.
Hitting Event City in Trafford between
the 16th and 18th of March, and Westpoint
Exeter between the 19th and 20th of April,
Toolfair drew thousands from all around the
country to see the very latest in tools and
construction tech.
At the illbruck stand, visitors could glimpse
a host of cutting-edge sealant solutions –
perhaps most notably, the innovative multi-use
construction adhesive, PU700.
PU700 is a high-performance solution for
bonding bricks and other construction materials.
Capable of replacing traditional mortar, as well as
serving as very high strength adhesive for wood
and joinery, PU700 can offer huge time and cost
savings. It would take 12 cartridges of traditional
sealant to perform the same number of jobs that
can be completed with one can of PU700.
What’s more, the product cures quickly,
allowing joints to be handled within just ten
minutes of application. It cures fully within
24 hours.
illbruck will continue to exhibit at Toolfair
this year at Harrogate, Coventry and Sandown
Park, Surrey.

STOKE CITY MEMORABILIA GENEROUSLY
DONATED TO LOCAL STAFFORDSHIRE HOSPICE
» » PROMINENT STOKE-ON-TRENT
fabricator Listers Central has continued its
long-term support of the local Dougie Mac
Hospice, by donating a large variety of Stoke
City FC memorabilia.
As official partners of Stoke City for over
six years, the donation includes signed and
framed programmes, shirts and footballs,
including shirts from Stoke’s 2016/17 ties
with Hull City and Watford. The collection
even includes a framed Listers sponsored shirt
for an XI formed by World Cup winning
keeper Gordan Banks, and a framed athletics
shirt from British pole vaulter Steve Lewis.
The special lot will be up for grabs as part
of a fundraising auction, taking place at the
Dougie Mac Annual Ball in October. The
money raised will help the hospice continue
its important work of supporting patients
with life-limiting conditions and their
families.
Increasing support within the local
community is just one of the many ambitions
of new owner Roy Frost. Acquired in
September last year, the Stoke-based firm
joins GJB Window Systems in forming the
GJB Holdings Group. The move allows
Listers Central to grow its position as a
nationwide supplier to the trade.
