Testimonials
In my view our Toymaster Membership is an instrumental part of the success of our toy business. It has undoubtedly strengthened our relationship with Suppliers and has improved lines of communication with them too. This has made it a lot easier to focus on simply dealing with our day-to-day work. Toymaster worked hard to adapt to the events of 2020 in order to support the needs of its Members and I know it is continuing to explore new ways to support us as we continue to encounter and overcome new challenges.

Another benefit of being a Toymaster Member is the group chat Forum where we can discuss things, share knowledge, offer top tips and commiserate over difficulties. The Forum helps us not to feel alone and is a great source of information and support. The Toymaster team are always a phone call away but sometimes you need help from actual shop keepers out on the ‘front line’.
Julia Wingate, The Trading Post
Being a Member of Toymaster is extremely beneficial to an Independent Toy Retailer. Every Member is unique and with Toymaster they continue to stay that way. The group gives you the buying and Marketing power of a national chain whilst allowing you to keep the business your own – you stock what you want to stock and you run the Toymaster opportunities that you want, when you want to.
David Middleton, Midco Toys
Toymaster is always on the other end of the phone and nothing is ever too big a problem for the team. As a Toymaster Member we can order very good POS materials trough the website and at Christmas we benefit from the Toymaster Catalogue. As well as being something kids love, the Catalogue is a great Marketing tool, it gets our name and contact details out there into the local community, as well as information on some of the toys we offer. Becoming a Toymaster Member was a huge boost for our business. We’re so glad to be part of a great team.

Toymaster brings together some of the best owner-managed Toy Retailers in the UK, Ireland and beyond. They are a pleasure to work with and the central office team facilitate an easy trading process with centralised payments and Marketing initiatives that have enabled us to broaden our distribution and sales opportunities. Of course, that also makes it easier for the Members with a like clockwork admin system and central point for them to acquire the same benefits afforded to large national accounts. Although the membership is broad The central office team at Northampton facilitate a package of services for Suppliers and Members alike that make it easy for us to cooperate and invest together in Catalogues, Window Features, range discounts and promotions. The independent Toy Trade is extremely important to Brainstorm and our business with Toymaster continues to outperform our sales trend generally, which makes us very happy.
