Dear Miss Dickens & Mr Reid

Thank you for your letter of 13 September to Sir John Banhan, Non- Executive Chairman of Kingfisher, regarding your dissatisfaction with B&Q.

All complaints are taken seriously and I have, thereford, asked Ms Suzanne Murray, Customer Service Manager at B&Q, to investigate the matter fully. I am sure Ms Murray will be in touch with you shortly.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

Your sincerely,

Geoffrey Mulcahy
Group Chief Executive
