Founder-led venture · In development

TradeVault

Practical tools designed around real working life.

Product concepts for painters, decorators and construction professionals.

Status & governance

Stage: Pre-prototype development
Operator: Separate founder-led venture; trading entity and product-liability arrangements require confirmation.
Current delivery: Painter Pro concept validation; not a product currently available for sale.
Funding: Separate ownership, IP and finances; CIC grants or sponsorship do not automatically finance it.

Key boundary: TradeVault is not a CIC programme or commissioned CIC service. Future manufacturing and sales need their own responsible operator and agreements.

What is TradeVault?

Practical ideas for the realities of working in the trades.

TradeVault is a founder-led product innovation project exploring practical storage, mobility and workflow solutions for people working in the trades. The aim is to design products around the realities of moving between jobs, transporting equipment and keeping essential tools organised and accessible.

Pre-prototype development — Painter Pro

A mobile storage and workflow concept for painters and decorators.

TradeVault Painter Pro is being developed as a professional mobile storage and workflow concept for painters and decorators. The aim is to make it easier to transport, organise and access the tools and materials needed throughout a working day.

This is a developing concept, not a product currently available for sale. Its final design and features remain subject to validation.

Pre-prototype development

Built around the trade

Useful by design. Grounded in the working day.

Move more easily

Designed around the reality of moving equipment between jobs and working areas.

Keep tools organised

Help keep frequently used equipment together and easier to access.

Work more efficiently

Reduce unnecessary movement and time spent searching for equipment.

Designed from experience

Product concepts informed by real construction and decorating workflows.

Future TradeVault range

One practical starting point, with room to grow.

Painter Pro is intended to be the starting point for a wider family of practical products for construction and skilled trades. Future concepts may explore storage, transport and workflow challenges faced by other professionals on site, with individual products announced only as they move through validation.

Development approach

Thoughtful progress, step by step.

TradeVault products are being developed through staged concept validation, prototyping and professional feedback before manufacturing decisions are made.

The long-term vision

The longer-term ambition is to develop a family of practical products that help tradespeople organise, move and use their equipment more effectively.

Designed around the job, not around the toolbox.
