━ WDS PARTNERS
A curated home
for local makers
in Trowbridge
and across
Wiltshire
WDS Partners gives independent makers, artists and small brands a place to sell in a beautifully designed shop in the centre of Trowbridge, with real support to help your brand grow.
Now welcoming makers from Trowbridge, Bradford-on-Avon, Bath, Devizes, Melksham, Warminster, Frome and nearby villages.
━ WHAT IS WDS PARTNERS
More than a place on the shelf
WDS Partners is a partnership programme created by Will Do Studio for local makers, artists and small brands who want to sell their work in a carefully designed shop in the centre of Trowbridge.
This is a space for people who value good design, quality and the small details. We do not fill our shelves with random stock. We curate what we sell, so every visitor can find something genuinely special, whether for themselves or as a gift.
When you join, you are not simply renting a shelf. You gain a partner who wants to help your brand grow.

━ WHO IT IS FOR
Made for local makers and small businesses

Because the shop represents makers from across the region, we do select the brands we work with, so quality stays high.

━ WHO WE ARE
We are makers too
Will Do Studio is a maker as well, so we know exactly what daily life as a small creator looks like: the time it takes to design, produce, pack orders, run social media and find new customers.
That is why we built WDS Partners on real experience, not theory. Our goal is not simply to offer a space on a shelf. We want to be a partner that helps your brand grow, so you can focus on what you do best, which is making.
