New kitchen worktop

We’ve had a new worktop installed in our kitchen and utility. Reece from Wickes in Derby has been great. He helped us choose the right worktop, arranged delivery, and was super helpful with last minute additions. He’s also provided guidance on other accessories. We’re so happy with our new worktop. Highly recommend.

Thank you Nessa at Derby

Visited the Derby store today and was served by Nessa. She was extremely helpful and patient, we have had a particularly difficult week following the sudden death of a relative and it was really nice to find someone who was prepared to take the time to help us find the items we wanted.

Wish all customer service was like this.
Thank you Nessa

Community donation to Brookfield Primary School

I completed a community donation request and visited the Derby branch a few days ago. I spoke to Linda who offered me September's donation. She was very helpful showing me the products I was interested in and wanted to know what our aim was. She explained how to get the most out of the £100. A few days later we have been able to collect the bags of stone and edgings to help create our magical fairy area in our school grounds. Brookfield Primary School are very grateful we were successful in securing the donation and look forward to sharing the before and after photos with you.

Exceptional service from a lovely lady at Wickes today. We were looking for a specific paint where my "man look" had found two cans of silk instead of matt finish.
When I popped up to the till with a 5l can and two 2.5's. This was met with a "hold on the 5l ones are on offer, let me pop to the warehouse"... A few minutes later, and we walked out with what we needed and saved quite a few pounds in the process - compared to what we were going to buy.
Others would have just taken payment for the first items, but thanks to some good old fashioned customer service we got what we wanted at a great price. Thank you!

Above and beyond!

The staff are always so helpful and supportive whenever I visit and whilst renovating my house - that has been very often!!
However the staff member Sandy always goes above and beyond especially regarding paint mixing. Taking an interest in my own project, sharing her own lived and professional knowledge and skills.
Thanks everyone X

Poor customer service

We went to pick up a "click and collect" order, and as we were about to pay another member of staff decided to start her own conversation with the lady who was serving us. She obviously felt this was more important than us, and went off to speak with her colleague. What a poor example of customer service! We had to wait as we'd paid online, otherwise we would have left and gone somewhere where our custom was appreciated. We will NOT be going back.
