Wickes Reports First-Half Revenue Growth of 2.1% to £865.3m
UK home improvement retailer Wickes Group reported first-half revenue growth of 2.1% year-on-year, reaching £865.3 million for the period ending June 27, 2026. Retail revenue rose slightly by 0.8%, while design and installation services saw a stronger increase of 5.7%. Adjusted profit before tax (PBT) grew modestly to £27.6m from £27.3m in the prior year, supported by productivity measures offsetting cost inflation. The company noted improved performance trends into Q3 with mid-single-digit like-for-like retail revenue growth and plans for four to five new store openings later this year as it moves toward a target of 300 stores. Wickes remains on track to meet market expectations, including approximately 10% adjusted PBT growth in 2026.
