Earlier this year, Kingfisher owned Screwfix unveiled a new campaign, fronted by Mo Farah, that showcases the speed and convenience customers say is the main reason they choose the retailer.

Screwfix Convenience is designed to drive usage of Screwfix Sprint delivery, Click & Collect and check-In services among tradespeople and DIY customers.

And the Sprint service, which promises delivery within 60 minutes, is now live at 600 stores and counting. 

In a LinkedIn post, Max Britten, Managing Director UK & Ireland at Screwfix, said: "We know how important convenience is for our busy trade customers. They want to stay on the job, avoid unnecessary downtime and get what they need, when they need it. Sprint helps them do exactly that, with tens of thousands of customers using it so far this year."

He added: "So making Sprint accessible to more customers is a real priority for Screwfix. With the additional stores, it now reaches more than 62% of the UK population. A huge thank you to all our colleagues and our delivery partner Gophr who have helped us reach this important milestone, and of course to our customers for continuing to use Sprint."
