  • Hi there

    Can't help with the french speaking but you may wish to check out following websites

    https://www.castorama.fr
    https://www.bricodepot.com.

    These are the european versions of B&Q and sit under the Kingfisher umbrella, like B&Q. May be able to get in touch and acquire your information.

    Just cameback from france today (my original post was made from an internet cafe in Boulogne, and have visited both. I have the buyers details for castorama, but not bricodepot.

    I will be trying the websites, but generally they do not give out personnel details,the same as here in the UK.

    If anyone can help me get the details I require, there will be a reward!!

    Many thanks!

    Leroy merlin is another you could try. What do you need to know? Their head office details?

    Thanks. I really need to get the details of the buyer for Power Garden Tools, with an email address if possible.

    So are you wanting to find someone who will phone them up and talk to them? Or someone to translate a letter for you?

    And is this going to be an ongoing need or a one-off?

    My business French isn't up to it, but the Student board might be worth asking on, OR if you have a local University putting a postcard up in their Students Union and / or Languages dept.
