Mica is the brand name of the voluntary trading group Mica DIY Ltd (also referred to as a symbol group) for independent do it yourself (DIY) and hardware retailers in the United Kingdom, who work together for group benefit in marketing, buying and retail support.[1] It has around 60 members, including all four nations of the United Kingdom. The majority are in England – currently[when?] around 54 - with six each in Wales and Scotland and four in Northern Ireland. Their size and locations varies.
Its headquarters are in Stone, Staffordshire, where it has been based since 1996. It was set up with the assistance of Mica South Africa, a company set up ten years earlier with a similar model.[2] Unlike other similar groups, Mica does not have its own warehousing. Instead, it works with suppliers who deliver direct and has a relationship with Stax Trade Centre,[3] which acts as the group's preferred wholesaler.
Mica DIY Ltd became a registered co-operative retailer group in 2010,[4] and had previously since its inception been majority-owned by its retailer members. Its stated aim is to assist its retailer members to compete with the larger corporate stores. The business is owned and directed by its members, but management-run. It is similar to Spar or Nisa in many ways – working for hardware and DIY stores as they do in the grocery industry.[5]
