Screwfix’s expansion plans are continuing at pace with the retailer set to open the doors of its 800th store in June of this year.
The retailer will create more than 800 jobs by the end of January 2023 with the opening of 80 new stores across the UK and the Republic of Ireland, taking its store estate to over 870 stores.
As part of the retailer’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions, the 80 new stores will be equipped with air source heat pumps to provide heating and hot water powered by electricity instead of gas.
The 800 new roles will include retail assistants, assistant managers, and branch managers, in locations across the UK and Ireland. Newly recruited staff will have the opportunity to participate in the retailer’s apprenticeship scheme, to join the 850 apprentices currently training across the business.
Screwfix’s growth plans are supported by Kingfisher, whose ‘Powered by Kingfisher’ strategy aims to maximise the benefits of combining its distinct retail banners with the scale, strength and expertise of the Group.
