Masters, Australia’s newest home improvement and hardware chain, has announced a 5% discount across all items for trade customers and builders who hold both a Trade Member Card and Trade Account with the hardware retailer.

Available now, the offer can be used across all stores and online at www.masters.com.au for thousands of top quality and great value home and hardware products, and Masters’ comprehensive range of building supplies, power and hand tools, plumbing, electrical, and timber products from a host of top trade brands.

Hitachi, Panasonic, Bosch Blue, James Hardie, Boral, Stegbar, Fletchers, Carter Holt Harvey and Cement Australia are just some of the major hardware and building brands on offer at Masters covering everything a tradesperson needs, from cement, timber, doors and windows to insulation, roofing, flooring and ladders.

Plus there’s also over 35,000 home items to choose from covering lighting, paint, flooring, kitchens, outdoor furniture, appliances, gardens, walls, windows, storage and bathrooms, to suit every DIY or home renovation project.

To redeem the five per cent discount, trade customers must scan their Masters Trade Member Card at the checkouts and make payment using their Trade Account card.

The Trade Member Program also provides trade customers with unbeatable trade-only offers, product updates, incentives, competitions and promotions and is valid across all Masters stores.

The Trade Account has been built to meet the needs of trade business owners, and includes benefits such as monthly statements with receipt information, job referencing, GST itemisation, no annual card fee or online account management fees, and up to 60 credit-free days.

“Masters values its trade customers and we are constantly looking at ways in which we can offer the industry convenience both in-store and online, and through great trade-only value offerings,” said Don Stallings, CEO, Masters.

“This particular offering has tradies receiving the same discount as staff, meaning they’re part of the Masters team.

“We believe professionals in the trade deserve not only convenience, but the best products and services and clever, simple options to help run their business – and bottomline – more effectively,” he said.

If trade customers can’t find what they need in store or online, Masters has a Special Order Service, offering access to extended ranges and literally thousands of additional products by the best hardware brands.

Masters is a joint venture between Woolworths and leading US home improvement retailer Lowe’s.
