Screwfix

Total sales +4.5% to £2.755m, LFL +3.2% driven by strong volume growth and supported by range expansion, growing app usage and a new loyalty programme

- Core categories (c.85% of the total) grew +3.2%. Performance was broad-based across safety & workwear, sealants & adhesives, power tools & accessories, electrical and plumbing

Strong market share gains across categories as Screwfix reaches new customers and continues to enhance its customer proposition

- Trade credit solutions are live with up to 60 days of interest-free credit. Screwfix launched a new rewards programme through its app, with strong early engagement leading to a +13% increase in active rewards customers to 2.2m, supported by gamified campaigns, personalised offers and surprise perks 

- E-commerce sales increased +5.2%, bringing e-commerce sales penetration to 59.4% (FY 24/25: 58.2%). App sales grew by +14% and now account for over 41% of e-commerce sales (FY 24/25: 38%), helped by improved offering and personalised rewards, a visual search engine Lens, streamlined collection via Check-In, and rapid delivery. We have strengthened our store‑to-home fulfilment capabilities by expanding our Deliveroo partnership to more Screwfix stores, complementing Screwfix's Sprint proposition, with deliveries in as little as 20 minutes to 60% of the UK postcodes

Space growth contributed +1.3% to total Screwfix sales with 27 net store openings. This included 13 new ultra-compact City stores bringing the total to 39, as our convenient locations better target professionals serving high density areas. We see potential for up to 100 City stores over time and remain on track to reach the medium-term goal of over 1,000 Screwfix stores
