Strengthening its position as one of the UK’s leading tool suppliers
ITS, one of the UK’s largest and most trusted tool retailers, is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Toolstop brand.
Following ITS’s acquisition of FFX in 2024, both the Toolstop and FFX brands have now joined the ITS family. Customers of these respected brands will continue to be supported — now directly through ITS — ensuring access to fast delivery, knowledgeable support, and a wider range of products from all the leading brands.
I am delighted to announce the sale of Toolstop to a major UK online retailer, ITS… it is in very safe hands.
Calum Kegg, Toolstop Managing Director
A strong home for trusted brands
The acquisition of Toolstop builds on ITS’s commitment to safeguarding well-established names in the UK tool market. While FFX entered administration last year, Toolstop’s business chose a different path — yet in both cases ITS has ensured these brands’ customers are looked after and supported.
Our focus has always been simple: to give trade professionals and DIYers the tools, choice, and service they need. By bringing Toolstop into the ITS family, alongside last year’s acquisition of FFX, we’re ensuring customers of these respected names continue to be supported directly by ITS, with access to our nationwide next-day delivery, huge product range, knowledgeable staff, and decades of expertise
Paul Hubbard, ITS Director
