Wickes Group plc - TradePro Investor Insight Event

 

 

Wickes, the leading UK home improvement retailer, will this afternoon host an
in-person event for analysts and investors, providing further detail around
the Group's TradePro membership scheme. The event will be hosted by David
Wood, CEO, Mark George, CFO and Gary Kibble, Chief Marketing and Digital
Officer.

 

TradePro is a membership scheme available exclusively to local trade
customers. The scheme's compelling proposition is focused on saving
tradespeople time and money, and it acts as a key differentiator for Wickes.

 

The TradePro programme is facilitated by the TradePro mobile app, which allows
customers to check stock availability by line, by store, to order immediately
and have Wickes pick, pack and dispatch directly into the customer's vehicle
within 30 minutes, all with a guaranteed 10% price discount. It is also a key
customer relationship management tool which provides Wickes with direct access
to its local trade customers for personalised offers and regular
communications, along with advanced machine learning capabilities to analyse
their purchasing patterns.

 

This afternoon's event will outline the attractiveness of the TradePro offer
and the scheme's considerable progress to date, while also focusing on the
opportunity to further grow the customer base and increase share of wallet
amongst members.

 

 

No new material non-public information will be disclosed and the presentation
slides will be made available on the Wickes investor website shortly after the
event.

 

If you would like to join the event in person, please contact
