History of Screwfix
Screwfix began life as a retailer of (you guessed it) screws. The first Screwfix catalogue was published in the early 1980s and ran to only one page. The catalogue grew over the years to a more substantial version which served DIY and tradesmen. Today, the Screwfix direct mail order catalogue runs to hundreds of pages and contains over 11,000 products. The recently launched Screwfix Quickshop app lets customers put together an order on their phone and creates a QR code which is scanned at the till. Currently, the retailer has over 450 stores in the United Kingdom and 9 German stores.
The Screwfix Foundation was launched in 2013. The foundation aims to bring Screwfix’s expertise in building and hardware to the aid of various UK charities which need help building, fixing or improving their facilities. It has raised over £950,000 for charity since it was launched! Screwfix is also good to its staff, wining 2016 Oracle Retail Award for Employer of the year. The company has been recognised for its customer service also, which is no doubt due to the ‘extra mile’ services they offer, such as the 24/7 contact centre and the 5 minute click and collect service.
