Screwfix has revealed its ambition to open up to 85 new stores in the UK, Ireland and France by the end of January 2024, creating more than 800 jobs. The announcement came following a record year with 87 openings in 2022 which included the first five in France.
All new stores will be equipped with air source heat pumps for heating and hot water as well as power, as is its full chain, by renewable electricity. Older stores are also being retrofitted with air source heat pumps as the business strives to reduce carbon emissions.
John Mewett, Screwfix CEO said: “We know how busy tradespeople are and how important it is to be able to find a Screwfix store close to their jobs. In response to sustained demand from tradespeople across the UK, Republic of Ireland and France, we are driving forward with our store opening program with the plan to open up to 85 stores this year.”
