Summary

Bluestones One’s merchandising division is proud to have supported the trial implementation of a new high-end paint range into the Dulux Decorator Centres. Our role in the trial was to understand the specific requirements of each store with the DDC Project Manager and remove/reconfigure and make good the location for the new paint range. This included merchandising, shopfitting, minor electrical and plumbing works and painting and decorating works.

Challenges

The key to this project was managing the store-specific requirements and the differing needs each store had, as well as working with the store management team to deliver their expectations of the project. Whilst working in store our teams also delivered some small changes that were initially out of scope but were great added value pieces of activity for the stores.

Results

Dulux Decorator Centre confirmed they were very happy with the project delivery and were pleased to have found a supplier that exhibits all of the right behaviours, from senior management all the way through to the teams delivering the project in store. We continue to work closely with DDC to deliver further project across the UK.
