Customer Experience, Insight & Analysis

The Customer Experience team aims to understand our customers and develop our experience in ways that will delight our customers. They are passionate about supporting our customers to ensure swift resolutions and great customer experiences.

The Customer Insight team use customer research, behavioural data and market sources to influence and guide the business towards improvement against priorities for customers - to represent the ‘Voice of the Customer’.

Finally the Analysis team seeks to understand changing customer behaviour. And how the different customer groups are changing loyalty, or responding to new initiatives.

I'm incredibly proud to be a part of Wickes. It’s a unique and exciting business and the culture here really stood out to me from day one. In my first week, I was made to feel right at home and everyone was so welcoming and friendly. I could tell it was a business that really cared about its employees and the people here are definitely the heart of the company and its success.
