Summary
As a tier one supplier to B&Q, Bluestones One were extremely pleased to be asked to implement their large- scale category change known as “Decor Neutron”.
As part of this refresh, we were asked to provide end to end merchandising support to deliver a best in class inspiration area and shopping experience for its customers.
Planning
Bluestones One provide the following aspects for every project.
Project management
Complete engagement visits
Provide full CDM documentation
Store by store costings
Create a phasing plan by store
Deliver in line with agreed schedule
Establish and supply all resource needs for Site Management, SIERS trained Installation teams and Merchandising teams
Challenges
Bluestones One merchandising teams have recently completed 49 stores and are planning to complete a further 53. Stores were completed during trading hours over a two-week period. Ensuring the sales areas were kept safe and as well as allowing the store to continue to trade we followed a carefully planned schedule designed by our project management team. As part of the project, Bluestones were also asked to be the lead team for all of B&Q’s largest, highest sales and most challenging stores in this project.
Results
Using the experience and commitment of our on-site teams and project managers we were able to overcome any issues and provide the perfect solution, bringing a whole new look into stores.
Bluestones One received fantastic feedback from the customer for the delivery and results of such a large-scale project.
