To Inspire and Support a Lifetime of motoring and cycling
Halfords is a household-name retailer with 125 years of heritage and a strong brand. During that time, we have seen the dramatic evolution of the car and the bicycle; new and innovative products come and go; and customer requirements evolve. Our core focus is on providing our customers with the products and services they need, whenever and wherever they require them.
Our new strategy builds on our core strengths but seeks to make transformational changes to the business in order to solidify our position as market leader in the categories that matter most to us and our customers. In developing this strategy, we have conducted extensive research with customers across the UK, analysed market trends and investigated the wider macro trends affecting the UK.
This has helped us create a strategy which will ensure we stay relevant to our existing customers; are able to attract new customers; and stay ahead of the evolving retail landscape by scaling a convenient and differentiated services business.
