Founded in 1874, DIY Week has since then been a leading source of information to retailers of hardware, housewares, garden and diy products, and their suppliers.

Originally launched by a Birmingham hardware wholesaler as Martineau & Smith's Monthly Circular, the magazine was very soon renamed Hardware Trade Journal, and changed from monthly to weekly publication in 1900. Over the following decades it became the major business magazine for its market, absorbing its main competitor, The Ironmonger, as well as many small titles.

DIY Week provides retailers and suppliers with news, comment, financial analysis and market trend information.
