Highlights
Wilkinson has recorded the greatest increase in points on last year to climb from third in 2011 to come top in 2012 for DIY & gardening. Areas where it has improved greatly were price and quality which will help boost its value credentials and appeal to a more frugal customer.
B&Q have maintained their second position in 2012, remaining the best for range and becoming top for ambience and layout. However, price and quality remain areas of weakness for the retailer, with both being below the sector average. The introduction of a greater proportion of directly sourced and common products should help improve these areas.
With its overall score down by 15, Homebase is now bottom among profiled retailers in 2012. Indeed, Homebase was below the DIY sector average in six of the eight drivers. Its strategy of leveraging its recently acquired Habitat brand into DIY, which will help improve its quality credentials, is therefore a sensible move.
