A Brief History
Folkestone Fixings began trading in 2003 and became a limited company in 2006. As well as branches in Ashford and Folkestone, FFX has its head office and distribution centre in Lympne, Kent. The online business is run from there, today one of the largest independent suppliers of power tools and power tool accessories, hand tools, fixings and fasteners, and general construction consumables.
FFX People
Every one of us working at FFX is passionate about what we do. Our sole aim is to make sure we give you, our customer, the best possible service, great prices and immediate availability on the widest range of products, and sound technical advice. We recognize that things do go wrong occasionally, so our aim is to make sure we resolve any problems quickly and efficiently, minimizing the hassle to you, our customer.
FFX Directors

FFX is owned by its directors and Foresight VCT. George Adams is our Chairman. He was formerly Chairman at Screwfix and has had a long and distinguished career with B&Q and Kingfisher among many others.

Tim Horrell is Managing Director. He founded V.J. Technology, one of the largest and highest quality fixings businesses in the UK, in 1991 before selling the business and leaving it in 2010. Patrick Ker is Managing Director. He bought into VJT in 2003 and has worked with Tim for nearly 15 years. And Mark Skinner is Operations Director. He’s a FFX man through and through, and what he doesn’t know about power tools isn’t worth knowing.
