Screwfix History

Screwfix is one of the UKs largest retailers of tools and hardware products. Part of Kingfisher plc, it boasts over 1,400 stores and over 80,000 employees.

Screwfix was originally founded as the Woodscrew Supply Company in 1979. In 1992 the first catalogue under the Screwfix Direct name was made. Between 1992 and 1998 turnover essentially doubled year on year before the company moved to a Houndstone Business Park in Yeovil.

The Screwfix website was launched in 1999 and the company was acquired by Kingfisher plc. In January 2000 trading hours were extended to seven days a week, before next day delivery options were introduced in mainland UK later that year. Screwfix continued its expansions through the years, with the website attracting up to 7 million unique visitors a week.

In April 2013 Screwfix launched the Screwfix Foundation. The charitable projects of the Foundation include repairing and maintaining community buildings for those in need. The Foundation donates to local charities throughout the UK and has donated over £10m between its launch and 2022. In 2013 Screwfix won the Gallup Great Workplace Award for its top quality workplace and employee happiness. They have won numerous awards over the years, including Multi-Channel Retailer of the Year and Employer of the Year in March 2016. In 2017 Screwfix was also awarded the Retail Week Award for Customer 'Experience Initiative of the Year'.
