Leading British Heating Manufacturer Vogue (UK) has created a stylish way to warm your fluffy towels, velvety bath robe or some of your more delicate garments this winter season with the Stendy and Stendy Quad Towel Warmers: both part of its Contemporary Collection.
It all started over 50 years ago, in 1960, originally known as Wilkinson Decorators, a painting and decorating firm that started out on Anlaby Road working from the premises of Wilkinson's Corner hardware shop.

Radwraps have launched its new glitter range of Radwraps radiator covers.
Radwraps covers are magnetic and are proven to be 118% more efficient at reducing heat consumption than their wooden counterparts.

Plumbing is one of the world’s oldest professions dating back to Roman times.
It was even considered a great choice of career by Albert Einstein, who declared in November 1954: “If I would be a young man again and had to decide how to make my living, I would not try to become a scientist or scholar or teacher. I would rather choose to be a plumber or a peddler in the hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances.”
With more than 230,000 jobs expected to be created in construction by 2020, a growth of 2.5% each year – 3.5% in Greater London – there has never been a better time to get into the industry.
