Trolley Good - the new Go-Up shopping trolley from Playmarket, Barcelona

With all of us shopping locally on the high street and at farmers’ markets, more and more of us are using our cars less and less, so it was about time someone updated that vital trolling the shops bit of kit; the shopping trolley.

Whilst there are many makes on the market Roullier White searched far and wide to find what we considered to be the best shopping trolley around. The Go-Up trolley from Barcelona ticks all the boxes. It is strong, durable, ergonomic and most importantly, with its suave Spanish styling, it has street cred.

With over 40 years experience manufacturing some of the world’s finest buggies, Playmarket ES turned it attention to redesigning the shopping trolley. Listening to the comments of their thousands of satisfied customers; as mothers of toddlers, the one thing mums miss is shopping with their buggies. Focusing on the features of pushchairs which make them easy to maneuver, front swiveling wheels, adjustable height handle, push me / pull me handling, wide chassis with four wheels; the Go-Up was born.

At £125 there are cheaper trolleys on the market and also many of lesser calibre that are far more expensive, however, we believe the Go Up trolley to be the best on the market, and boy have we seen some trolleys!

40 litre capacity
10 litre thermal bag for hot or frozen food

Opportunity knocks - the chance to get your hands on a piece of history

The most famous front door in the world, No 10's classic contours have appeared as a constant iconic representation of Great Britain across the generations and has been touched by some of the world’s most influential leaders.

The seven-petal window above the door and the famous lamp with elaborate metal support are the feature of countless doorstep shots, however it is the lion doorknocker, fitted in the 1780's, that is the most familiar.

Roullier White has tracked down the West Midlands-based brass foundry that made the original, only to find that the company still owned the original mould and could produce identical knockers.

It is with great pleasure that Roullier White announces the launch of the Downing St Door Knocker - 225 years of age, and hand made and finished in the original fashion. Made from solid brass (No 10's is painted black), this is a design classic.
