Wickes extends CitySprint partnership

CitySprint started working with Wickes in 2016, supporting home deliveries for Wickes’ online customers from a network of over 200 stores across the UK, named ‘smart fulfillment’. The new contract will see CitySprint continuing to provide single and two-person local delivery services from stock held by local Wickes stores and then delivered within pre-advised delivery windows. Typical items delivered range from standard DIY products – such as tiles, plumbing, electrical fittings and tools – to key building materials such as fence panels, timber and ready to fit kitchens.

Wickes head of customer fulfilment Lisa Goward said: “2020 was a year that tested our partnership’s agility and strength to the maximum. Over the past 12 months, CitySprint provided us with invaluable delivery support — responding rapidly to the changing demands brought about by the Pandemic. We are extremely grateful for their continued support and look forward to developing our partnership over the next three years.”
