I've been a Wickes customer for decades…

I've been a Wickes customer for decades but over the past year, I've been involved in a few more projects, so I've had cause to shop at Wickes for all and any of my tools and other trade accessories and have noticed that the customer service at Wickes Bedford has really developed.
So much so that I was compelled to provide this review as I've had such great customer service from the staff that I've actually come to know, and they me.
If I'm stuck on anything, I know that staff like James Mac, the other two James, Kirsty, Sharea and Julie will always go out of their way to help me find exactly what I'm looking for.
They always go that extra mile which leaves me with such a positive experience that I feel I need to share it.
Well done all the Bedford Wickes staff, you're a credit to the company, so please keep up the great service.

Cheerful helpful staff at this branch.

Cheerful helpful staff helped me in store locating items and opening a sealed bulk pack of timber to break down into smaller quantity I needed. At checkout Dawn on the checkout desk was particularly cheerful and recognised me and greeted me warmly as a returning customer on my way in. She dealt with the queue politely and efficiently and it was a pleasure to be served.

So we went into wickes with a very open mind in needing a new kitchen… and we got exactly what we were hoping for and more. Our design consultant Billy Wood went above and beyond to create our new kitchen and make it work for all of our needs. He saw us through everything, supported in as many ways as he possibly could and then some. Not only did he create something out of thin air (thanks to our wide scope) but he made it perfect.
The fitters through Wickes did an absolutely fantastic job, completing earlier than expected. Any problems we had the were easily approachable. When we were unsure on some of the work Billy popped by and liaised with the electrician and fitter to make everything ran smoothly. Honestly, we are so happy with the journey and the end product. Thank you so much!

Great team - highly recommend the storr

Popped into branch to order some ply for a home DIY project. We were helped by James McG who was super helpful, knowledgeable and helped us order what we needed for delivery.

He made sure we didn't miss out on any in-store offers and was warm and friendly.

Fantastic Experience

Really helpful staff, especially Dawn who went well beyond the extra mile to help us - she is a great ambassador for Wickes. Other staff helped us carry heavy items from shelf to car, really pleasant visit.

Dawn on checkouts lights the place up but the standards of help available on the isles is now microscopic. They are shelf stackers but know nothing about anything DIY.
