RFU Twickenham Rugby Ground




We have now taken delivery of the two new lorries I metioned in a previous article, and during a recent delivery to Twickenham we got an opertunity to take a couple of snap shots of our shinny new truck on the hallowed turf of RFU Twickenham stadium. Not only a nostalgic moment but it does make a lovely picture for our wall in the office.

As an update to our recent mail promotions and special offer months and more recently a Breakfast Morning with Hunter Plastics, we are still seeing alot of enthusiasum in the marketplace amoungst the the Builders and our DIY customers alike. This is always good news and while there is a always a little slow down over Christmas, we forsee a good upturn for the new year.

By John Seccombe

Media Hype

Many of the media boffins will have you believe that we are about to hit a recession. If this were in fact the case then I'm sure that thing would be a lot more dire than they actually are. After speaking to many industry individuals, it is agreed that while sales have slowed and housing market confidence has dropped, the times are still good and and there is still much to celebrate.

For this reason and because of a recent highways legislation change we are about to take delivery of two new lorries, and will we placing orders for more soon. This will in turn allow us to improve upon our already impeccable free delivery service, where you the customers will benefit greatly.

Please keep an eye on these pages for upcoming special offers coming for the month of September.

By John Seccombe

Thank you all for helping to make the Breakfast
Mornings week such a hugh success

A double thank you to all the Suppliers and Manufacturers who attended,
who without their help would not make these events possible.

The whole month of march was a roaring success, with offers from the likes of Hunter running for the entire month. The breakfast mornings themselves were received well by our customers and also by the reps who also made good use of the free food! Although the weather could have been kinder to us we have experienced an bit of a one off with Easter being earlier this year and with the unusually cold weather for spring, but the lure of hot food brought out the hardy and the not so hardy alike to our special event.

The Breakfast Mornings prize winners are!

Simon who chose a Specialized
Hardrock Sport for his daughter!
(John Seccombe, Simon Flaherty, Chris Moors, Keith Davies Seccombe)

Joe Finbow who is still undecided
as to which of these many bikes to have!

After the success of last years week long breakfast morning bonanza at Isleworth, we are all set to repeat the event again this year in march. Only in march this year due to the early fall of Good Friday.
All our preparations thus far are looking promising with special offers from the attending Manufacturers, and displays from a dozen and more companies during the week long event.

We are looking forward to seeing you there!

We would like to take this opportunity to once again thank all our customers for another prosperous year. We have had this year some of the usual challenges with the likes of competition from the stores, price increases due to the activities of the Chinese economy, and who'll forget the complete nationwide stock shortage of fence panels, and next year will certainly bring it own challenges. So bring on the new year and we hope you will all be joining us to face these challenges once again.

For your information our opening times over Christmas are as follows.

Closed - 24th to 26th Dec.
Open - 27th to 29th Dec.
Closed - 31st Dec to 1st Jan.
Reopen - 2nd Jan 2008

Thank you very much
Happy Christmas

Some of you may have already noticed the installation of a large screen in your local branch. We have recently made arrangements with a company called Arena Digital Productions to provide instore advertisements for ourselves and for outside interests to promote themselves on. If you are interested in advertising a Diy or building based product on one of our screens just give us a call and we'll get Arena to get in touch.

We reserve the right to refuse any application that we deem inappropriate without notice.

After the mayhem that was our official Easter promotion we are happy to report that the Easter Breakfast Morning was as well as being a blast, a complete success. All the attending manufactures and customers that we spoke to were extremely happy with the way the four days went. As well as the FREE food we were offering, Seccombes together with Moore Bros. in Isleworth were giving away a £300 bicycle to one lucky winner, which ran for the duration of the month of April, and with Bradstone who kindly offered a Genuine Leicester Tigers rugby shirt.

On 3rd May we were happy to present Mathew Garey with his brand new Specialized mountain bike.
Also attending was Mark, manager at Moore Bros in Isleworth, and Keith and myself from Seccombes.
Mathew was seemed enthusiastic with his new bike and vowed to do some serious cycling on it.

We were also pleased to be able to present Alan Knox with his Leicester Tigers Rugby shirt.
Alan was surprised to win the shirt as he believed that winning prizes was not something that happens to him.
Obviously lady luck was shining on Alan this time.

Since my last update we have had another successful breakfast morning with hunter. If you missed it don't worry we're planning a few more for the beginning of 2007. Possible attendees will be Dewalt, Hunter, Blue Circle, and Marshalls. We're also drawing in our tools offers for Christmas, more information to follow soon.

And we would also like to announce the introduction of a new face in our fold. If you are visiting our Isleworth branch feel free to introduce your self to Keith Davies our Branch Manager, who will be more than interested to talk to you about any of your current building projects.

P.s now is the time to look at our toolbank site as there are many special Christmas offers to be had just click the link.

By John Seccombe

Ok, slap on the wrist for the delay. This delay was due to my part in trying to confirm our next event dates and as to who will be there. The good news is our ever popular Breakfast morning has been set. FREE FOOD, DISPLAYS, AND DEMONSTRATIONS.

We are nearing completion of our Isleworth Trade Counter refit. It's only a modest job to increase the amount of stock on show, and more importantly create space for a few new lines. For example we are about to increase our range of Makita Power Tools, and have just brought in a new line of Dewalt Power Tools. Others include Harris brushes, Dulux paints, Stanley, and Owletts Ironmongery.

So pop in at your leisure and take a look for yourself.

Welcome to 2006. Hope you had a restful break. But as always good things must come to an end. Come the 3rd of January we'll all be back to work fresh for a new year.

Toolbank has reported some very promising sales from their web site and we've had some very good feedback from our customers regarding their experiences with it. Even at this early stage it is good that we are able to provide yet another excellent service for our customers.

On a lighter note our latest poll of a somewhat confused subject has proved that Dave is a little annoying but most of you haven't got the foggiest as to who Dave is. (This is OK by me).

The Management would also like to take the opportunity to grovel a little more about Sundays. Sorry!

By John Seccombe

Still haven't visited Toolbank, Dave has, Dave loves it, Dave's my mate, I hope Dave's still my mate.

Things have been very interesting since Easter. The poll took a lot more hits this time with some amusing results. A recent breakfast morning which started of a bit slow ended as a roaring success, and Bernard are rep almost managed a whole month without getting a parking ticket, until this morning that is.

One important and exciting addition to the website is a new link to our Toolbank associated online web shop.

Use the link above to browse hundreds and hundreds of tools from electrical hand tools to manual tools to make light work of any job.

If however you don't like to order things over the internet just pop in and see us and we sort it out for you.

By John Seccombe

Well we hope you all had a relaxing Easter break, and for those of you who enjoy a little DIY we hope all the work you started worked out as you expected.

We have just added some new links to the link page two of which are brick companies, where you can browse hundreds of wonderful brick types, sizes, shapes, textures, and colours to your hearts content. I must say a thrilling prospect for anyone who might enjoy that, or a needle in a haystack if you have a specific brick in mind.

An alternative to that is to come in to us and we'll try an match it for you.

By John Seccombe

Welcome to 2005, and we sincerely hope you had a restful Christmas break. This year we here are celebrating 75 years of trading history, and during the year we hope to bring you some interesting facts about Seccombe's that have happened over the years. Like This photo taken after Christmas in 1948 of a young Alan Seccombe with his fathers car infront of the farm house still recognisable today at syon lane.

By John Seccombe

Firstly with Christmas looming we are posting our opening times over the festive period.

We are closed for Christmas on the 24th Dec 2004.
open for trading on the 29th Dec 2004.
Closed for newyears on the 1st Jan 2005. (hip hip)
open for the new year on 4th Jan 2005.

Our Croydon branch in St. James's Road has just got planning permission to demolish and rebuild a large storage area on its premises, This is interesting because when it is complete it should solve a certain amount on parking problems that some of you will be all too aware of and generate a large amount of space for our stock and some new stock as well.

So as we say good-bye to another year we would all at seccombe's like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
By John Seccombe

We are now a Richard Burbidge stockist. We now keep a range of stair parts, wood mouldings, and pine selves. Not to mention ordering ability of non stocked items.

Did you know next year P.A. Seccombe & Son Ltd will have been trading for 70 years. All the more reason for celebration this New Years.

By John Seccombe

Welcome to our new website. Rip the old one.

Creosote products as some of you may know have been banned by Brussells because of possible cancer warnings wich includes products like Railway sleepers and timber fence posts, have caused some headache for us over the passed year. However all our creosoted products have now been replaced with non cresoted replacements, including Railway Sleepers which we now stock as New Oak Railway Sleepers. Being oak means long life and strength without chemicals.

Our Branch in Croydon in St. James's Road has just completed renovation of is Trade counter and bathroom display area which looks mighty fine, along with helpful staff is well worth a look if you haven't visited them recently.

Recentley we had some problems with the supply of soft sand which I am happy to say has been resolved, and should it be of interest we stock Runfold soft sand.

By John Seccombe

With the launch of the new site we have to fondly say fairwell to our old site which has done us well over the years, even though it was a little neglected.

Lost but not forgoten.

No old news like good news.
