About Trend

70 Years in Business

Trend was founded in 1955 by Jim Phillips, a passionate and enthusiastic woodworker who had the vision of bringing high-quality woodworking machinery to the U.K.

With early collaboration from Elu, Jim became the first authorized distributor of plunge routers in the UK. Now, after over a half-century of innovation in routing technology, Trend has the most comprehensive routing range on the market. 

We are proud to say that innovation within routing, offering strong customer service and providing problem-solving solutions are still at the heart of Trend's core values 69 years later.

Over 7,500 Tools & Accessories

Today, we stock over 1,800 unique router cutters, covering a wide range of different profiles for a variety of applications. We also offer an extensive range of 1/2" & 1/4" routers, ranging from light to heavy-duty as well as an abundance of jigs, templates, and accessories to increase the versatility of your router and help you produce an accurate and professional finish every time.

Trend has now expanded its product line to include cordless power tools, dust extractors, sawblades, sharpening solutions, abrasives, and drilling accessories.

We hope to continue offering time-saving solutions to DIY'ers, hobbyists and professional tradespeople around the world.
