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.

"I've been using Trend jigs and accessories for a few years now, in particular router jigs and templates with great success, however recently I've started using their cordless tool range and find these great value and excellent quality. My go-to drill driver and router are all Trend now, oh and not to mention the shop vacs which have amazing suction and are quieter than any I've used before. Overall a great company based in the United Kingdom."
