Joseph Gleave & Son

This shop is certainly no shrinking violet. It spans what looks like an acre of land on Chester Road in Stretford and it has one of those 20ft high inflatable, wobbly men which distracts drivers but entertains children. Just in case you miss this gargantuan appendage, Gleave has thoughtfully erected a 30ft high unit which tells us the time and the temperature so when your irritating colleague or smug other half appears to have an unnaturally in-​depth knowledge of how many degrees celsius it is on a Monday morning, you know where they get it from.
Joseph Gleave is a supplier of specialist equipment selling tools, safety products and site equipment. From welding to security, sealants to abrasives, this store is a major player in providing products for the entire industrial sector. What this company provide that others do not is a reliable technical support division which advises business owners on the correct products they require, and provides health and safety product information. Is is not just about making sales with Gleave, it is about integrity in business. It is nice to know that behind Mr Inflatable is Mr Responsible. Oh heck, now I sound like I am creating new characters for the Mr Man books, and this was supposed to be a serious corporate review!
