Put simply, our strategic plan – ‘Powered by Kingfisher’ – aims to maximise the benefits of combining our distinct retail banners (which serve a range of different customer needs) with the scale, strength and expertise of the Kingfisher Group.
The differentiation of our retail banners across trade (Screwfix, TradePoint), discounters (Brico Dépôt France, Brico Dépôt Iberia), and more general DIY* needs (B&Q, Castorama France, Castorama Poland, Brico Dépôt Romania, Koçtaş) is a unique strength for us; more so in a more volatile and uncertain world. Equally, Kingfisher’s scale and resources are a critical source of competitive advantage for our banners, providing product development and supply (through our industry-leading own exclusive brands), access to leading-edge technology, digital and data capabilities, as well as international support, sourcing and buying scale.
We are continuing to invest for growth in multiple areas of the business, underscoring our confidence in the medium to longer-term outlook for home improvement growth in our markets. We are pleased with the progress we have made over the last year, against the backdrop of what remains an extraordinarily challenging macroeconomic and consumer environment in our markets.
