CDS Superstores is launching an insurance offering across its brands The Range and Wilko.

The Range is providing insurance covering pets, home contents, gadgets, travel, and bill protection. Wilko’s insurance covers pets, comprehensive gadget and home contents.

The coverage offered by each service across both retailers is fully customisable, with scalable options available based on the excess and coverage selected.

CDS Superstores CEO Alex Simpkin said: “This launch is the kickstart for our wider insurance offering, which will offer an affordable way for families to feel financially secure in case of unexpected events in their lives.

“We know that a mishap or unwanted news can have a devastating impact on a family’s financial and emotional well-being, and we aim for our insurance packages to provide a reliable and high-value safety net.”

He continued: “By introducing comprehensive insurance products, via The Range and wilko, we are furthering our commitment to supporting our customers in every aspect of their lives, providing them with the peace of mind that they are protected.”

Last week, CDS Superstores relaunched Homebase’s website following its acquisition of the brand out of administration last year.

The retailer said the redesigned site provided “an upgraded online shopping experience for all household and garden requirements”.

Additionally, earlier this month the parent company revealed it was set to relaunch three former Homebase stores as The Range Superstores by the end of January, marking the latest step in its transformation of up to 70 ex-Homebase locations since its acquisition.
