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...

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’.

Hard work but also can be good
Hard to earn money as they take a big chunk out of the fitting, some of the designers are good and some aren’t as concerned as others and make too many mistakes.

Bad place to work
Very unprofessional, management treat all staff as friends not colleagues. Lots of things to be improved, the store is a great space just needs lots of work.

Fun workplace, customers can be nightmares
Had a great time! Only problem is customers can be rude or aggressive, especially if you're a female. Pay is fair and contractual hours are definitely fair, but overtime can be pain
