About Wickes
Let’s. You’ll hear that word a lot round here.
Because like Wickes, it’s bigger than the sum of its parts.
It’s more than just four letters. It’s an invite to do something together.
And the combined effort is what we’re all about. It always has been.
In 1972 it was two brothers opening one store, to try to make home improvement better together. Today it’s the collective effort of more than 8,000 employees, from our 233 stores, and across our support & service networks, aiming for the exact same thing, each one contributing something different to the team.
And each one of us contributes something different to the success of the team.
You see, together we can make this business of home improvement the best it can be for everyone. Together, we can ‘do it right’.

Home.
It’s one of the warmest words in the English language.
For half a century, we’ve been finding imaginative ways to help generations of customers transform four walls and a ceiling into a dream.
We’ve done so by infusing what we do and how we do it with the spirit of Wickes, with our Winning Behaviours.
Whenever they’ve needed us, we’ve shown our customers how approachable and resourceful we are, as well as being curious to know about their projects so we can add that little bit more. The result is more than just a growing, evolving business that’s leading the industry and reflecting profound changes in how we live our lives. The result is also deeply personal.
When a customer walks through the door into one of our stores, their project becomes our project.
And we tackle it with a can-do spirit, humility and authenticity, because each of us knows that tingle of pride when in some small way we helped them make their home that little bit more special.
We’re helping the nation feel house proud.
It’s a warm feeling.
