Wickes Launches Second Installer Network Recruitment Drive For 2020

Home improvement retailer Wickes has launched a second recruitment drive this year for its installer network, with the aim to increase its offering of skilled kitchen and bathroom fitters. Wickes’ Showroom kitchen and bathroom business has continued to see encouraging demand as consumer behaviour has shifted over the past few months to prioritise home improvement.  

Following the launch of the Wickes Virtual Design Service in May, which has seen more customers seek online consultations for interior projects, the brand is seeking to work with a wider network of independent installers to cater to this demand, together with expanding into new areas such as tiles and flooring. Skilled fitters who successfully apply to join the Wickes Approved Installation team will be offered highly competitive rates, guaranteed customers, regular work, an exclusive discount on Wickes products and a strong support network. Thanks to the continued growth and expansion of one of the UK's largest retailers of kitchens and bathrooms, many approved installers are booked for Wickes installations every week.  

Tony Brown, Installation Director at Wickes said: “Customers have been spending a lot of time at home and with this, we’ve seen a renewed interest in home improvement. While lots of customers complete smaller projects themselves, there has been an increase in demand for those wanting a fully installed service. To ensure we can meet the needs of these customers, we’re taking on additional skilled installers, enabling quicker start dates for people investing in transformational projects. Providing a full kitchen or bathroom service is really appealing for those customers looking for a trustworthy business, and this is why we’re looking for great new approved installers to join our network.”
