Leading plumbing and drainage manufacturer Wavin is partnering with professional tool manufacturer Milwaukee to launch a nationwide roadshow across branches at national merchant Wolseley Plumb Centre, bringing hands‑on product demonstrations and exclusive giveaways to tradespeople across the UK.
The tour kicked off in Kendal on Tuesday 17 February, with Wavin’s custom mobile display vehicle – the ‘WaVan’ – arriving on site for a full day of practical product demonstrations and expert advice, before concluding in Aberdeen on Thursday 21 of May.
Across the 29-stop tour, installers will get hands on with the latest innovations from Wavin and Milwaukee. Visitors will get the chance to pick up exclusive giveaways and free product packs, while anyone purchasing a Milwaukee product on the day will be entered into a prize draw to win a Milwaukee branded radio.
As part of the roadshow, attendees will have the chance to discover Wavin’s new Hep2O keyless range with free sample packs. The latest plastic push-fit system eliminates the need for a demounting key, streamlining installation in tight or hard to reach spaces and each fitting comes pre locked for quicker, more reliable connections.
“Partnering with Wavin and Milwaukee allows us to bring even more value to our installer customers,” said Graeme Etherington, director of Regional Operations at Wolseley Plumb Centre.
“Their commitment to supporting installers aligns perfectly with what we aim to deliver in branch. And because both Wavin and Milwaukee are part of our PlumbPro loyalty programme, this tour gives customers even more opportunities to engage with the brands they already rely on while unlocking extra value through PlumbPro benefits. Together, we’re creating an experience that helps installers get hands‑on with new products, ask questions, and find practical ways to make their everyday work easier.”
Wayne Boswell, national key account manager at Wavin, added: “We’re really looking forward to getting the WaVan out on the road and spending time with installers across the country. It gives us a chance to speak to people face‑to‑face, understand what they need day to day, and offer support in a much more personal way.
“Partnering with Plumb Centre and Milwaukee means we can bring the right expertise, the right products and the right conversations directly to the trade.”
James Harris, national account manager – Plumbing at Milwaukee, said: “Installers rely on tools that can keep up with the demands of their work, and this tour is a fantastic way for us to show exactly what our products can do. Being part of such a collaborative roadshow means we can talk directly with the people who use our tools and Wavin’s every day.”
This partnership brings together three leading brands with a shared commitment to supporting installers through hands‑on demonstrations, valuable product knowledge and direct in‑branch engagement.
