Our History
The business was established in the early 1940’s when Richard Busuttil started out by retailing general household and ironmongery goods from a small outlet in Mannarino Road, Birkirkara. Richard then passed on the business to his son, Frank, who in turn was at the helm of the business for many years. Frank was responsible for diversifying the business from its humble origins to the retailing of tools, power tools and machinery.
The business is now run by a third generation member of the family. Richard Busuttil, Frank’s son, now manages the family business. Richard has further developed the business by setting up importation and wholesale activities together with an online presence, to complement the already established retail function developed by his father. Today Handyman Centre not only operates from its original location in Mannarino Road, but is also available 24/7 online via its e-commerce site www.handymancentre.net
Although the business has evolved to reflect modern times, the personalized service of the past is still at the core of our business today.
