BOSCH PROFESSIONAL UK LAUNCHES NEW INSTAGRAM CHANNEL @BOSCHPROUK Bosch Professional has announced that it has launched a UK Instagram channel. The new channel builds on the success of its award-winning UK Facebook channel, and will offer tradespeople the opportunity to get all the latest news on its power tools, measuring tools and accessories. Alongside news it will feature regular tool reviews from a wide range of well-known tradespeople. They will show the tools in use and give their genuine thoughts on the tools. The channel will also showcase videos and information on its latest innovative technologies such as BITURBO Technology, highlighting its revolutionary performance thanks to the high-performance brushless motor which exploits the full potential of ProCORE18V batteries. The channel will launch with BIG competitions offering tradespeople the chance to win tools from its BITURBO range including: • GWX 18V-15 SC X-LOCK Angle Grinder • GKS 18V-68 GC Circular Saw • GBH 18V-45 C Rotary Hammer • GCM 18V-216 Cordless Mitre Saw The channel will also offer UK tradespeople the chance to apply to become a tool tester. You may have heard of #builtwithBosch, where tradespeople apply to become product testers. Every few months Bosch runs a new round where tools are sent out free of charge for testers to put through their paces on site, and then share their thoughts on social media. The best part is that they get to keep the tools for free afterwards.
