Here’s why The IPG’s Trade Local Day on September 9th is the can’t-miss event for UK tradespeople.

Mark your calendars
September 9th isn’t just any Monday; it’s The IPG’s Trade Local Day—an event that’s set to shake up your usual supply run. Think exclusive deals and epic giveaways that’ll make you wonder why you ever shopped anywhere else.

What’s in it for you?

Watch it all unfold
As the fun kicks off, The IPG will be taking over On The Tools’ social media stories, bringing you live footage from locations across the UK. You’ll get to see the event unfold in real time.

And let’s not forget, The IPG’s brand ambassador, Mark Millar, will be adding an extra touch of excitement to the day!
