Total Tools & Hardware Group Expo

February 26, 2026

Timber Hardware Australia had a fantastic few days in Adelaide at the Total Tools and Hardware Group Expo, connecting face-to-face with our hardware members. It was a valuable opportunity to hear directly about the exciting opportunities emerging in the sector — as well as the very real challenges ahead.

Discussions around workforce, competition, and growth strategies highlighted the resilience and innovation that continue to define our independent timber and hardware businesses. It’s inspiring to see how our members adapt and thrive in a rapidly evolving market.

A standout moment was the Awards of Excellence Dinner, where we celebrated the nominees and winners who are setting the benchmark for leadership, service, and community impact across the network. Witnessing the calibre of operators we represent is always energising.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to connect with us. These conversations are invaluable in shaping the work we do to support independent businesses across the country.
