Corporate member relocates store

Corporate member Axminster Tools & Machinery has opened a new store in North Shields.

The new outlet, which is located on Tyne Tunnel Trading Estate, opened on Friday 15 June and replaces the store at the North Shields Retail Park site.

The new location is ideally suited to both trade and retail customers – while still being convenient to the many hobby and craft enthusiasts who have discovered Axminster Tools & Machinery in the recent years.

The new 12,000sq ft site is larger than the previous premises and will introduce a new store layout to ensure easy navigation through a larger range of products. Getting ‘hands on’ is very much part of the Axminster difference and the new store will feature an upgraded Live Workshop and new interactive demo workstations.
