Ventnor Branch: Part of the Island's Hardware Tradition and Award-Winning Service

Proudly part of the Isle of Wight's oldest hardware store, our Ventnor branch opened its doors in 1963, following the success of our Newport location. We've become a cornerstone of the Ventnor community, with many customers knowing our friendly staff by name.

As a store in a vibrant seaside town, we cater to both residents and visitors from the mainland. We offer a comprehensive selection of hardware supplies, including lighting, DIY tools, giftware, electrical items, homeware, gardening essentials, and everything you need for decorating projects.

Beyond providing top-quality products, we're committed to giving back to the community. We work closely with local charities and were recently voted UK Favourite Local Business 2022.

And that's not all! We're also delighted to announce that we've been recognized for our exceptional customer service, winning the Customer Service Award 2024. This award reflects the dedication of our team, who consistently go the extra mile to ensure your shopping experience is positive and helpful.

Come visit us in Ventnor and experience the difference!

My name is Dave and I am the manager of our Ventnor Branch.  I have been in retail since the age of 16 and joined the Hurst family in 2001, progressing to branch manager in 2011.

I feel I've become a familiar face in Ventnor, my portrait was even included in the 'Faces of Ventnor' installation during the Ventnor Fringe Festival!  I have built a strong relationship with my customers and I'm always happy to help.  I and other colleagues recently took part in a round-the-island charity bike ride raising money for local charities.  

I have lived in Ventnor for over 10 years with my family, 2 dogs and 2 cats and really feel part of the local community.

My hobbies include long walks with my family, DIY projects and science fiction.
