Case Study: B&M

Summary

Bluestones One’s Merchandising Division is the sole supplier for the Dulux merchandising within B&M stores, supplying teams to deliver all merchandising activity across the full store estate, including new store implementation.

Challenges

All stores regardless of their grade are merchandised on a specific day of the week, according to the project requirements for that particular store. The greatest challenge is finding teams that can support the activity for 1 day only, potentially in the middle of the week. We overcome this by having multi-skilled teams throughout the UK and due to the differing types and scales of activity that we have across various retailers, we are able to meet their requirements.

Results

Stores are always delivered on the specified date to a fantastic standard.

Meet the team: Martin Sweeney

Meet Martin Sweeney, Installations Director

How did your journey at Bluestones One begin and what has it been like since?I joined the business in February 2020 and was really excited with my role and new opportunity to develop. Unfortunately, I was grounded slightly by the pandemic. This then presented the business and me with lots of obstacles which we had never experienced but with the support from the internal team and from our partner company, Bluestones Investment Group (BIG), we overcame these. Whilst many businesses have failed to survive, Installations continued to develop and grow its customer base. The next few years may present many challenges, but I am excited to drive the business forward in the coming years. What do you enjoy about working in this industry?I believe you must be a self-motivator and be ready to tackle daily challenges. Each day presents itself with new challenges, and whilst this can be difficult, you get a sense of achievement when you deliver for the customer. One thing that really excites me is the opportunity to see lots of the UK whilst on client and site meetings. We have a fantastic internal support team who are young and ambitious, and this allows us to develop.
