Damian McGloughlin, CEO of Homebase, said: “We know that many people get their initial ideas for home and garden updates or transformation projects online, which has a huge impact on how they then want to shop. I’m really excited and proud to launch our new website that will make it even easier to be inspired and will be supported by our stores which will show products in whole room sets to help customers envisage how the look could fit in their own home.”
John Gallemore, CEO of THG Ingenuity, said: “This is just the first step in our 10-year partnership with Homebase, as we set about putting digital at the very heart of the business and preparing Homebase for future growth.
“During the months and years to come, you can expect to see further innovation from Homebase as the THG Ingenuity platform continues to evolve, helping to create an outstanding, data-driven e-commerce experience that complements the business’ network of stores.”
Homebase’s new website is part of the first phase of a 10-year partnership with THG plc, announced in September.
