Summary

Bluestones One were proud to support Asda when they confirmed the exit of their old in bay Cake Shop stand. Bluestones One were asked to execute this project from start to finish by coordinating the fixture order and delivery, providing an engagement brief, execution in store and finally removal and recycling of all waste and old equipment. Working in partnership with the fixture suppliers and Asda distribution centres Bluestones arranged exact equipment dates, communicated and briefed to stores what they were required to prepare and then installed the new equipment the next night.

Challenges

Bluestones One worked closely with both the equipment suppliers and Asda distribution centres and communicated to every store creating a roll out plan and programme that ensured the equipment was delivered on time, the stock removed ahead and the new equipment installed the next evening. Co ordinating the install around every stores operational hours to avoid any overtime requirements minimised store disruption and reduced any impact to sales.

Results

The project was completed on time and within budget and all merchandising, racking and equipment returned back to standard.

Bluestones One received positive feedback from the customer and as a result further orders have now been placed.

Is the high street hotting up?

Who said the high street was dead? With soaring temperatures in the UK, the public is shunning their computers and phones and heading to the Great British high street to part with their hard-earned cash.

Meet Richard Jones – Operations Manager

Tell us about your role at Bluestones One I have been with Bluestones One for three years. I first started on the shop floor (in the field) where I would travel the country meeting new people and completing a variety of projects. I then moved into the resource team where my role was to put teams together for various clients, this involved making sure the skill set was right. I was also responsible for making sure the accommodation is right and making sure that we, as a business, got the basics right and the teams had the right tools to deliver the best service. I am now currently the Operations Manger which means I now have my own team within the office and manage colleagues in the field. This role also includes interaction with clients to ensure they have the faith in the business to consistently deliver their requirements. I have been in retail for over 20 years now and I have enjoyed every minute of it, the different places and challenges that the job role brings. There is no better job satisfaction than knowing our colleagues in the field deliver a high standard of service to our clients and
