While attending the Screwfix Live show in Farnborough in September, Spear & Jackson UK’s Area Sales Manager Gareth Davies and National Account Manager Matt Williams were lucky enough to meet loyal S&J customer Colin Mitchell who was delighted to tell him about his 100-year-old spade!
Originally owned by his wife’s grandfather, Colin has been using the Spear & Jackson Neverbend Spade personally over 50+ years. Now in their 70’s, Colin and his wife estimate that the spade must be at least 100 years old and is still going strong!
Matt Williams, National Account Manager at Spear & Jackson UK said: “We are delighted that Colin came to chat to us on the stand and even more so that he sent pictures of the spade to us. It’s an amazing story, and incredible that Colin is still using the spade for his gardening today. Not only is the spade ‘Neverbend’; it truly has a lifetime guarantee!”
