‘Save As You Earn’ | Wickes staff net £14.1m windfall through 'brilliant' Sharesave scheme

Nearly 1,000 Wickes employees will be rewarded with a £14.1million windfall through the company’s share saving scheme, the DIY retailer has revealed.

The bonus comes after Wickes’ share price more than doubled since the scheme began in November 2022, rising by 124% as of December 2025.

One participant in the scheme called it a “brilliant opportunity colleagues to invest,” while CEO David Wood said he was “absolutely delighted” to see staff being rewarded for their committment and hard work.
