Bristan has announced the addition of a number of new features to Bristan Connect, a social network for plumbers.

Key new features include a ‘Connect Events’ section where plumbers can look up their next Bristan Connect event and join in the fun; from curry nights to go karting. Also, a new ‘Share’ button means members can more easily share their favourite posts, images and videos with their connections and in forums.

Other additions include an ‘Ask Me About’ tab for tips and advice, a ‘Poll’ section where installers can share their feedback on new products and industry issues, and a ‘Recommendation’ button enabling third party endorsements.

Also, a new ‘Stockist Locator’ tab means all members will automatically have their details displayed on the network, further helping to drive business.

“Since its launch in May 2014, Connect has proven a huge success – offering an ideal platform for members to share their experiences and tips with other plumbers,” said Fiona Bowyer, marketing director at Bristan. “Following feedback from customers, we have added a raft of new features to provide further benefits for those using the site and, in turn, make our customers lives easier.

“This really is just the beginning for Bristan Connect and we have lots more in the pipeline as we continue develop the platform and consolidate its position as the number one online resource for plumbers nationwide.”

Designed to make life easier for installers, Bristan Connect allows users to share hints, tips, product recommendations, images and videos with other plumbers. Connect members are also the first to hear about exclusive promotional offers on Bristan showers and taps. For further information visit http://www.bristanconnect.com
