London Stock Exchange today welcomes Victorian Plumbing Group plc (Group or Company), the UK’s leading online retailer of bathroom products and accessories , to AIM under the ticker “VIC”.
 
Headquartered in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, the Group employs over 500 colleagues across seven locations in Skelmersdale, Manchester and Birmingham.
 
Victorian Plumbing offers a wide range of over 24,000 products to B2C and trade customers and provides a one-stop shop solution for the entire bathroom with more than 125 own and third-party brands across a wide spectrum of price points.
 
The fundraising raised gross proceeds of £297.5 million and the Group will have a market cap on admission of approximately £850 million based on the offer price of 262p per share.

The successful completion of our IPO and admission to AIM is an exciting next step on our growth journey. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our team for their support over the years.
