With a chequered history that goes back to the company’s formation in the early 19th century, Chad Valley was a popular brand of toys for very many years. After losing its direction on the 1970s following factory closures, the name was bought by Woolworths until their demise in 2008. Since then it has been exclusively owned by the Home Retail Group, who distribute Chad Valley toys through their Argos stores.
With hundreds of items in the Chad Valley range of toys, Argos has succeeded in making the brand one of the UK’s most popular - containing everything from expensive bikes and indoor football tables to low-priced games and pocket money toys. Covering almost every toy genre including action figures, construction toys, jigsaw puzzles, dolls and outdoor toys, the Chad Valley ranges offer Argos customers a cheaper alternative to some of the popular branded toys that are heavily advertised on TV.
If children want a castle or dolls house, a guitar or mini keyboard, a bike or scooter, the Chad Valley selections will have something to offer everyone. By focussing on providing high quality toys at the lowest possible prices, the Chad Valley range of Argos toys are a well accepted alternative to many other toys on the market.
As one of the original catalogue shops, Argos sells a huge range of toys and nursery goods, all at great prices.
