DIY and home improvement firm B&Q has introduced a new tradesmen discount card for use nationwide.
According to reports, the retailer is offering tradesmen such as builders and plumbers a discount of upon to 25 per cent, although building materials attract a lower rate of five per cent when the card is used, reports Builders Merchants Journal.
The card has been introduced after an initial successful trial north of the border in Scotland.
"The B&Q Trade Discount Card is designed specifically for tradesmen and couldn't be easier to use," said the company.
"Earn a monthly product discount on a range of purchases, plus the more you spend on a monthly basis, the higher the level of rebate you will receive quarterly by cheque."
Volume rebates of five per cent are also available providing certain criteria are met.
Established in 1969, B&Q has its headquarters based in Southampton.
