Trade Linkers

Trade Linkers has been operating out of number 63 on Nagdevi Cross Lane for a long time. If you know the area, you know it’s one of the busiest streets for buying and selling hardware and industrial parts. Our shop is quite narrow and goes back pretty deep, filled with shelves that reach all the way to the ceiling. We have boxes stacked everywhere, and sometimes it's hard to find exactly what you're looking for without asking one of us. We deal with a lot of different links and connectors, hence the name. It’s a lot of manual work, moving heavy items and checking sizes for customers who walk in off the street. The lane is always crowded with carts and people carrying loads on their heads. It’s noisy, dusty, and very lively. We don’t have air conditioning, just a few ceiling fans that hum all day long. Most of our business is done through word of mouth or people who have been coming to this lane for decades. We write out our receipts by hand most of the time because it's just faster that way. It’s a traditional way of doing things, but it works for us and our customers. We open early in the morning and stay until the shutters go down in the evening. There’s always someone here counting stock or talking to a regular buyer about what they need for their project. We keep a jar of biscuits for the staff.
