Duckhams Ducks Fly at Screwfix Live 2025

Duckhams Oils exhibited at Screwfix Live for the first time this year, taking its brand to the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre for the trade show's 12th edition at the end of September. The free three-day event, run in partnership with Holt Lloyd International, brought thousands of tradespeople and consumers together with more than 200 trade brands under one roof.

A claw machine on the joint Duckhams and Holt stand proved to be one of the most popular attractions of the show, with visitors queuing around the exhibition hall for the chance to win a Duckhams-branded duck, alongside a separate prize draw offering a £50 Screwfix gift card.

Duckhams CEO Mike Bewsey said the show was "incredibly well attended, with over 10,000 people coming through the doors on Saturday alone," adding that it was "great to see visitors queueing up around the hall to have their chance with our claw machine." He said the new partnership with Holt and Screwfix was "opening up new market channels to make it even easier for trade customers and consumers to purchase Duckhams Oils."

The Screwfix Live appearance came during a busy autumn for Duckhams, following the brand's rollout across EG On The Move forecourts and the appointment of David McLean as Chief Marketing Officer, as the company continued building direct relationships with UK trade and consumer audiences.
