For a start we’re not operating in one market sector, but cover craft, hobby, jewellery making, restoration & renovation, electronics, precision engineering, beauty and cake decorating. We offer a wide range of good quality products at realistic prices and aim to build meaningful long-term relationships with our customers. We’ve been going for more than 112 years already and have built up a lot of trust with our customers in the UK and Internationally. Do you visit any trade shows? We exhibit at the Nurnberg Toy Fair and have done for many years as this is a great place to meet all the international customers. We also visit the Koln Hardware Trade Fair every two years and Frankfurt’s Paperworld. Occasionally, we’ll visit beauty shows in Hong Kong. What’s your current status during the Covid 19 outbreak? Shesto Ltd is open for business and is actively distributing across the UK and globally, although with reduced numbers as some colleagues were unfortunately furloughed. Our Warehouse in Thetford is working as normal, our office staff (usually based in Watford) are all working at home. What new products can we expect from you in the future? Now that would be telling. But as you’ve asked, we’re busy working on newness in airbrushing, lighting & magnification and modelling & crafting tools. +44 (0)20 8451 6188 sales@shesto.co.uk www.shestotrade.com Precision Tools for Model Making, Hobby,Craft, Electronics,Restoration & Small Precision DIY Tasks www.shesto.co.uk Trusted for quality since 1907 2 Since 1907, Shesto have b materials covering a to precision engineering, the task at hand.
