Cumbria-based Forth, a nuclear decommissioning and innovation specialist, has partnered with Milwaukee Tools, a leading power tools manufacturer to offer its customers a more environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuel-powered equipment.

Forth Trade Counter can now supply a range of battery-powered products at the company’s main headquarters in Flimby, including chainsaws, cut-off saws, cordless drills and other power tools, lawnmowers, hedge trimmers and leaf blowers. Traditionally, these types of products have always been powered by petrol or other fuels.

Forth managing director Mark Telford said: “We are thrilled to be working in partnership with such a household name as Milwaukee Tools, a company which is renowned for the high quality of its products. As a company, we are fully committed to becoming carbon neutral and implementing changes like providing alternatives to fuel-powered equipment will help us achieve our ambition more quickly.

“We want to encourage as many of our customers, whether tradespeople or members of the public, to be greener and making steps through supplying battery-powered products of such high quality can contribute to that aim.”

Milwaukee Tools provides products across the world, and is one of the most popular brands of power tools in the UK. The inclusion of the products complements the wide range of stock already available for purchase from Forth Trade Counter.
