Ironmonger?

Very often when networking these days, I get asked what is an ironmonger? In simple terms, one that sells iron (in old days) made products, where a blacksmith makes things from the iron.

Today though an old fashioned term of ''ironmongery'' is still widely used in the construction industry, is less and less commonly known for public. Ironmongery originally referred, first, to the manufacture of iron goods and, second, to the place of sale of such items for domestic rather than industrial use. In both contexts, the term has expanded to include items made of steel, aluminium, brass, or other metals, as well as plastics.

Dealing in ironware has a long tradition, dating back to the first recorded use of the metal to fashion useful objects as long ago as 1200 BC, and studying the movement of such goods around the world, often over long distances, has provided valuable insight into early societies and trading patterns.

M Brock Ltd had been established in 1991 and had carried on with an old fashioned ironmongery tradition since, with an expansive range of products for customers to choose from, including lighting, electrical accessories, access control and so on.

Though the term might be old but there is nothing old fashioned about M Brock Ltd - updated showroom, social media presence, networking, sponsors, collaborations with great companies and many great things in a pipeline.
