Introducing the NWS Blog Whether it’s your first time visiting the National Welding Supplies website or you’ve been with us from the very beginning, we want to take a moment to introduce ourselves — and proudly announce the launch of our brand-new NWS Blog! This monthly feature is designed to keep our customers informed, supported, and better equipped. From technical know-how and safety tips to product updates and real workshop advice, our blog will serve as a practical tool for welders, engineers, tradespeople, educators, and DIYers alike. But first…Who We Are? National Welding Supplies (NWS) is a UK-based independent supplier of welding machines, gas, PPE, consumables, and workshop tools. Founded in 2023 by Claire Dawson, NWS was built with over 30 years of hands-on experience in the engineering and distribution space. Claire launched NWS to bring real-world service back to the trade — quick responses, trustworthy products, and no-nonsense support you can count on. What You’ll Find on the NWS Blog We believe support doesn’t stop after the sale. That’s why each blog post will offer something genuinely helpful, such as: Everything will be kept straightforward, time-efficient, and grounded in practical, real-trade knowledge. And if there’s something you’d like us to cover, we’d love to hear from you. Contact us today on all of our social media platforms, we’d love to see you in our comments or DMs. Want to be kept in the loop? Why not subscribe to our email list!
