TB Davies Has Been Featured by Insight DIY Following the Launch at Wickes
TB Davies’ latest retail milestone has been featured by Insight DIY, a leading source of news and market intelligence for the UK home improvement industry.
The feature covers our new partnership with Wickes and the significance of the listing for our fourth-generation Cardiff business.
TB Davies has secured a significant new retail listing with Wickes, bringing a selection of professionally designed access products to customers across the UK.
The new listing sees the TB Davies Xtend+Climb Pro Telescopic Ladder range stocked across Wickes stores, while the Little Giant A-FORCE Fibreglass Step Ladder range is also available through selected locations.
The agreement is one of the most significant retail commitments secured by TB Davies and is expected to account for approximately 10,000 units each year across the listed ranges. It marks another important step in the continued growth of the fourth-generation Cardiff business.
Certified Telescopic Ladders for Trade and Home use
The Xtend+Climb Pro range includes the compact 2.9m and 3.2m telescopic ladder models. Designed to provide a more compact and convenient access solution, the ladders are independently certified to the latest EN 131-6 standard for telescopic ladders.
Features across the range include clear green rung indicators to help users confirm that each section is securely locked, the controlled Lightning Latch retraction system and an anodised finish designed to help keep the ladder clean and smooth in operation. The 3.2m model also incorporates automatic locking stabilising bars for additional stability.
The listing comes at a time when product quality and independently verified certification remain particularly important within the telescopic ladder market. TB Davies introduced the Xtend+Climb Pro range to give trade professionals and home users greater confidence that the ladder they purchase has been properly tested and meets the required safety standard.
Little Giant A-Force Available in Selected Stores
Selected Wickes locations will also stock the Little Giant A-Force fibreglass step ladder range, distributed exclusively in the UK by TB Davies.
Designed for professional use, the A-Force combines non-conductive fibreglass stiles with a lightweight but robust construction. Its high-visibility green finish helps the ladder stand out on busy work sites, while its practical design makes it suitable for a wide variety of trade and maintenance tasks.
An Important Milestone for TB Davies
Simon Blisset, Key Account Manager at TB Davies, said the listing reflects the confidence that major retailers place in properly certified, quality access equipment.
“Wickes is one of the most trusted names in the UK trade and DIY market, and we are proud that they have chosen to stock our products. As a family business that has been making and distributing ladders from Cardiff since 1945, this is an important milestone for our team.”
Chris Moorhouse, Category Director at Wickes, welcomed TB Davies to the retailer’s range, highlighting the company’s long-standing focus on product safety and quality and its suitability for both trade professionals and customers completing projects at home.
TB Davies employs 27 people at its 3.5-acre site in Cardiff and supplies access equipment through a growing network of trade, industrial and retail partners. The business also holds the exclusive UK distribution licence for Little Giant Ladder Systems.
The Xtend+Climb Pro telescopic ladder range is now available from Wickes, with Little Giant A-Force fibreglass step ladders available through selected stores.
