About Us
Connect, part of the Screwfix family and owned by the Kingfisher Group, is a leading name in the distribution of high-quality appliance spare parts and accessories.
With over 50 years of experience, we’re proud of our heritage and excited about our future. Our journey began in 1969 when a Birmingham-based appliance engineer started selling spare parts to fellow engineers — the first of many opportunities that shaped who we are today.
Now, as part of Screwfix, we continue to grow with the support, resources, and knowledge of one of the UK’s most recognised retail groups, allowing us to deliver exceptional products and service to our customers.
