wilko has been part of people’s lives for decades, helping generations of families with their home & garden jobs and being a staple of value and quality throughout the UK. It’s the place you go for all those little things you need, and what better representation of this longevity than our enduringly popular paint?
We thought it was about time we put a face to the product: meet Huey & the team!

Huey is a testament to our heritage, a symbol of our reliability, and a recognition of our staying power. He’s a little tin with a big heart.
Huey’s story starts in the 1970s, when wilko released its very first own-brand product: wilko paint. Huey Snr is a replica of that tin, complete with our original logo and colours!
We only ever put our name on products we believe in, and wilko paint has been a firm favourite ever since.
Since then, we’ve created 1,000s more popular wilko products which people rely on to help them get their jobs done in the home & garden.
And it’s not just paint: you can find wilko essentials in everything including cleaning supplies, pet products, kitchen kit, and so much more!
We get a kick out of helping people with their projects, and Huey is the perfect symbol of that passion. Huey has the same focus on quality and value that we’ve had since we started, but with a snazzy new tin and wilko logo!
But where would he be without a little help?
Splat is a cute tester pot, here to help you find the perfect match for your home, and Crumbs is his mischievous doggy sidekick which shows our love for all things family – including the pets!
Huey loves a store opening. Whenever we open a new shop, he comes running to help out and meet our friendly customers – keep an eye on our stores page and subscribe to our email newsletters to hear of any new stores that you can visit to grab your wilko faves, and meet the big paint tin in person!
Follow Huey’s adventures on our social channels: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok & X.
