October 29th, 2026 – Royal Plaza Trade Center, Marlborough, MA

This year, we’re mixing things up!

Instead of hosting our traditional Trades Day, W. L. French is proud to join Bring Back the Trades (BBTT) as a Platinum Sponsor for its Skills Expo on October 29th at the Royal Plaza Trade Center in Marlborough.

BBTT is a national nonprofit dedicated to promoting careers in the skilled trades and changing the perception that college is the only path after high school.

Think of our Trades Day, on a much bigger scale! The Skills Expo brings together thousands of students, vocational schools, unions, employers and industry partners for hands-on exposure to construction, heavy equipment, trucking, mechanics, welding, electrical and many other skilled trades.

For W. L. French, it’s another way to support the next generation, strengthen our workforce and shine a bigger spotlight on the incredible career opportunities available in the trades.

We’re excited to be part of it and look forward to seeing the next generation of skilled tradespeople in action!
