Oh dear, the Wickes boss has got involved with all the woke nonsense... he obviously didn't see what happened to Bud Lite!! Clueless idiot....

Well I wanted a new kitchen sink and taps , got the last one's from Wickes .......guess I won't be going back there again! Live and let live but extract the urine out of your customer base and pay the consequences. Gerald Ratner was a lesson to learn. Feel sorry for investors:(

Defo needs to be sacked, what an idiot!

CEO needs to be sacked, he's there to make profit for the shareholders not to use the business as his personal mouthpiece.
This is uninvestable now.

Responding to the threats of a boycott during the summit, Mr Longden reportedly said that 90% of the population are "sort of slightly ignorant but mostly kind position".He went on: "The other ten per cent you know, they're just hot air and they will go and buy a tin of paint in the nearest place to them."That might have been us before, it might not be us afterwards - and equally, if they do come in and buy a tin of paint and behave that way, they're not welcome in our stores anyway."

(Alliance News) - Builders' merchant Travis Perkins PLC warned of lower annual profits on Friday, dragging down London-listed peers and housebuilders in a negative read across.

Shares in Travis Perkins slumped 5.7% to 817.60 pence each in London on Friday morning. Over the past 12-months, the stock is down 18%.

London-listed housebuilders struggled on the back of the update. FTSE 100-listed housebuilder Barratt Developments lost 0.7% and DIY retailers Kingfisher and Wickes PLC lost 1.3% and 4.3%.

"Travis Perkins' warning caused ripples across housing-related companies on the stock market, with select housebuilders, DIY retailers and building materials suppliers falling in sympathy," said AJ Bell Investment Director Russ Mould.

Davy Research said that given the size of Travis Perkins size, with annual revenue of about GBP5 billion, virtually all generated in the UK, the updates "will naturally carry a wider resonance".
