Pliers’ expert KNIPEX has become an Associate Supporter of Band of Builders, the national construction charity that carries out practical projects to help tradespeople facing life-changing or limiting circumstances.
Band of Builders brings together skilled volunteers from across the UK construction industry to complete projects that make a lasting difference to the lives of tradespeople and their families. From installing accessible bathrooms and building home extensions, to creating fully adapted outdoor spaces and delivering wellbeing support, the charity harnesses the skills and generosity of the trade to help those in need. As an Associate Supporter, KNIPEX will contribute to the success of these projects through a variety of fundraising activities, raising awareness across its UK customer base.
Founded in 2016, Band of Builders has delivered more than 35 projects across the UK, with a growing community of volunteers and supporters drawn from every corner of the industry. Each project is tailored to the specific needs of the beneficiary – often a tradesperson who has suffered injury, illness or bereavement – and delivered at no cost to the recipient.
The charity recently launched its Supporter Programme to provide structured ways for individuals and businesses to get behind its mission. Associate Supporters like KNIPEX play a key role in helping fund and facilitate the practical work that sits at the heart of Band of Builders’ impact.
“We know that being a tradesperson is about more than just the job – it’s a way of life, and one that comes with its share of risks and challenges. That’s why we believe in supporting organisations like Band of Builders, who are there for the trade when it needs it most. Together, we can make a real difference,”
David Barnes, Sales and Marketing Manager for KNIPEX UK
