Useless info time, but after having a bit of a Google, Focus were part of Wickes (or vice versa?) up until 2005 when the Wickes bit got sold to Trav's and remains part of Trav's at the mo.

Hope you all sleep better for knowing that now!

Remember you can get your housemoving discount with focus (10%) if you sign up for it. You have to show proof of moving like a letter from your solicitor or the removal vans bill.
