Wickes is a well-recognised home improvement retailer and garden centre based in the United Kingdom, with more than 230 stores throughout the country. Its main business is the sale of supplies and materials for homeowners and the building trade.

Wickes sites across the UK were experiencing huge losses of stock during a spate of ‘smash and grab’ burglaries. Thieves were gaining access into buildings via unsecure rear fire exit doors, and loading thousands of pounds worth of stolen stock into getaway vans. Wickes’ central operations and loss prevention team decided it was time to upgrade physical security measures on their most vulnerable sites, and turned to Bradbury Group after hearing of our reputation in this field.
