This ready-to-use canvas is ideal for investors, consultants, and founders seeking actionable insights.

Partnerships

Icon

OEM suppliers

Partnerships with leading OEMs secure early access to new devices and steady supply lines, crucial in a 2024 global consumer electronics market valued at about $1.19 trillion (Statista). Co-marketing funds and exclusive bundles from manufacturers drive higher margins and store traffic while joint forecasting improves availability and reduces stockouts. Strategic OEM ties also fund staff training and coordinated product launches to boost sell-through.

Icon

Logistics providers

Currys partners with 3PLs and last‑mile carriers to enable nationwide delivery, click & collect from around 300 UK and Ireland stores, and reverse logistics handling millions of deliveries annually. Service‑level agreements ensure customer experience is protected during peak seasons such as Black Friday and Christmas. Cross‑docking and consolidation reduce handling costs and transit times, while returns partners support refurbishing and recycling flows to recover value.

Financial & warranty partners

Credit providers and insurers underpin BNPL, point-of-sale finance and protection plans, enabling Currys to offer flexible payment and coverage across seven markets in 2024.

Risk-sharing with partners improves affordability while keeping Currys’ balance sheet light and capital-efficient.

Co-designed products boost attachment rates, while partner compliance and underwriting expertise materially reduce operational and credit risk.

Icon

Network & service partners

Network and service partners — including UK mobile operators EE, Vodafone and O2 and major broadband providers — enable SIM activations and bundled connectivity; Currys reported group revenue of about £8.4bn in FY2024 with services growing materially, while installation and repair subcontractors expand on-site capacity and geographic reach; vendor-certified service networks protect warranty fulfillment and revenue-share models align incentives across partners.

  • FY2024 revenue: £8.4bn
  • services scale: c.£1.1bn (FY2024)
  • vendor-certified engineers: national network

Recycling & refurb partners

Recycling and refurb partners — WEEE recyclers, trade-in schemes and specialist refurbishers — close the loop on end-of-life products, with Currys reporting over 1 million devices processed through trade-in and refurb channels in 2024; data‑wipe and grading services enable resale across store and online channels, supporting ESG targets and RoHS/WEEE compliance while creating secondary margins from pre‑owned stock.

Icon

Omnichannel retailing

Unified inventory across around 300 stores (2024) enables click & collect and ship‑from‑store fulfillment to reduce delivery times and increase in‑stock rates. Assortment curation balances hero SKUs in store with a long‑tail online range, while continuous A/B testing refines onsite conversion.

Supply chain operations

Demand planning, buying and replenishment keep availability high across Currys network by aligning stock with omni‑channel demand. DC operations and store transfers reduce working capital through centralized cross‑dock and flow management. Reverse logistics manages returns and trade‑ins to recover value and support refurbishment. Close vendor collaboration shortens lead times and lowers procurement costs.

Icon

After-sales services

Currys leverages installation, repair, maintenance and technical support to extend product lifecycles and drive recurring revenue; group revenue was £8.6bn in FY24 with services representing roughly 10% of sales. In‑home and in‑store tech help raise customer stickiness and repeat purchase rates. Robust warranty claim handling preserves brand trust, while service capacity planning smooths seasonal peaks and reduces wait times.

Icon

Customer acquisition & retention

Currys drives customer acquisition and retention through targeted digital marketing, CRM and loyalty programs that boost repeat purchases; personalization leverages browsing and purchase data to tailor offers and reduce churn.
